SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 21 - 24.
n Remove the battery pack from the tool.
n Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
n Lift the miter table clamp.
n Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned
at 0°.
n Push the miter table clamp back down.
n Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of
the square against the flat part of the saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
n The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 21.
n If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjust-
ments are needed.
n Using the 6 mm hex key provided, loosen the socket
head screws that secure the mounting bracket to the
miter table. See Figure 24.
n Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the saw
blade is parallel with the square.
n Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-to-
fence alignment.
