Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to
maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade. (Do not
touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so
will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock miter lock
lever (J) and swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks
it at the 0 miter position. Do not lock miter lock lever (J). If
the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence,
loosen the three screws that hold the miter scale to the
base and move the scale left or right until the blade is per-
pendicular to the fence, as measured with the square.
Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the read-
ing of the miter pointer at this time.
MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5, 6)
To unlock, lift the miter lock lever (J) up and squeeze the
miter latch (K) to move the miter arm to the zero position.
With the miter lock lever unlocked allow the miter latch to
snap into place as you rotate the miter arm to zero.
Observe the pointer and miter scale through the viewing
opening shown in Figure 6. If the pointer does not indicate
exactly zero, loosen the screw holding the pointer in place,
reposition the pointer and tighten the screw.
BEVEL SQUARE TO TABLE (FIG. 7)
To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm
in the down position. Place a square against the blade
taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth.
Loosen the bevel lock knob (L) and ensure the arm is
firmly against the 0˚ bevel stop. Move the 0˚ bevel stop
adjusting screw (T) as necessary so that the blade is at
zero degrees bevel to the table.
BEVEL POINTER (FIG. 7)
If the bevel pointer (M) does not indicate zero, loosen the
screw that holds it in place and move the pointer as nec-
essary. Do not remove the steel plate in front of the bevel
pointer. This plate prevents wood resin from accumulating
on the bevel scale during use.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOP TO 45˚ LEFT OR
RIGHT (FIG. 8)
NOTE: Adjust the 45˚ bevel angles only after performing
the 0˚ bevel angle and pointer adjustment. Ensure the 45˚
bevel override levers (N) are pushed inward to obtain an
accurate adjustment.
To adjust the right 45˚ bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock
knob (L) and pull the bevel stop override knob (S) to over-
ride the 0˚ bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if
the pointer does not indicate exactly 45˚, turn the right
bevel stop screw (O) until the pointer indicates 45˚.
To adjust the left 45˚ bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock
