WARNING:
To avoid injury from unexpected
starting or electrical shock, do not plug the saw
in. The power cord must remain
unplugged
whenever you are working on the saw.
1. To check blade squareness to fence, use a combi-
nation square. Place the square against the fence
and next to the blade as illustrated. Place the square
so the set in the teeth won't hold it from the blade.
The blade should contact
the full length of the
square.
2. If blade contacts full length of square, proceed to
next adjustment. If blade is not square to the fence,
follow the alignment procedures: a through f.
a. Loosen
miter lock knob a half turn. The saw
power head should still be secured in the lowered
position by the stop shaft.
NOTE: Take the saw off its stand, bench or ply-
wood base if readjustment is necessary.
CAUTION: To keep from losing control of the
unit, steady the base with one hand while loos-
ening the two bolts with the other hand.

MITER INDEX SPRING
CAP HEAD SCREWS
b. With the unit securely resting on a large stable
surface, tilt the unit by lifting up on one side or the
other of the base. Using allen wrench supplied,
loosen
the two miter index spring
cap head
screws on the underside of the turn table.
c. Return the saw to its normal resting position.
Make sure the miter lock knob is loose but do not
release the index spring.
d. Use the miter saw knob to move the turn table
and saw so that the blade contacts the full length
of the square. Watch out for tooth set. Turn the
miter lock knob clockwise to lock saw square to
fence.
e. Tilt saw as in Step b and tighten
cap head
screws.
f. Recheck blade squareness to fence and readjust
if necessary.
