ADJUSTMENTS
TO ADJUST THE MITER LOCK LEVER
See Figures 41 and 42.
When locked in an "unindexed" miter position, the miter lock
lever should feel tight and secure, and considerable effort
should be required to move the miter table. If the miter lock
lever feels loose or the table moves easily when in the locked
position, an adjustment to the miter lock lever is required.
To adjust:
 Unplug the saw.
 Lift the miter lock lever.
 With the unit securely resting on a large stable surface,
tilt the unit by lifting up on one side of the base.
 Using the hex head end of the blade wrench, loosen the
two socket head cap screws on the underside of the saw
table.
NOTICE:
To keep from losing control of the unit, steady the
base with one hand while loosening the two socket
head cap screws with the other hand.
 Locate the tensioning screw.
 Using the Phillips screwdriver end of the blade wrench,
adjust the tensioning screw until the proper amount of
tension in the lock lever is attained.
NOTE: It may be neccesary to lock and unlock the miter
lock lever to determine proper tension.
 Once all adjustments have been made, tighten the two
socket head cap screws and return the saw to an upright
position and push the miter lock lever down to lock the
miter table in place.
