ALIGN THE BLADE TO TABLE

Your saw is calibrated at the factory to cut true. Over time the
saw's calibration may drift and will need to be re-calibrated.
See Figure 29
1.
Unplug the Saw
2.
Lower the saw head all the way down to the transport
position and engage the saw head lock pin to hold it
in place. Push the saw head into the fully retracted
position and engage the slide prevention lock to hold it
in place.
3.
Set the miter position to 0 degrees and engage the
miter lock knob so the table will not move.
4.
Set the bevel position to 0 degrees. Engage the bevel
latch lever, so the detent pin locks into the bevel detent
plate.
5.
Place a combination square (A) against the table and
the face of the saw blade .
NOTE:
Make sure the square contacts the flat part of the
blade and not the teeth.
6.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points. If the blade face is not flush
with the square you will need to adjust the bevel detent
plate.(B)
7.
Loosen the three screws (C) and adjust the bevel detent
plate position. Set so the table and blade are flush
against the combination square. Make sure the bevel
lock/unlock handle is not locked, so the detent plate
may be adjusted.
8.
Re-tighten the three screws and re-check the blade-to-
table alignment.
NOTE:
This saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel
scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustment
have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator
screws (D) and reset them to zero
