awing the miter arm ur_it the miter Iatch locks it at the 0 miter position Do not lock miter Ioc_
lever (J} if the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence Ioosan the three screws that
hold the miter scale to the base and move the _te left or right until the blade is perpendicular
to the fence, as measured with the square, Refighten the three screw& Pay no attention to the
reading of the miter pointer at this tirre,
MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5, 6)
_;a uniock I_ the miter I_k lever (J) up and squeeze the triter latch (K} to move the miter arm

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 necessary. Do not remove the etee! plate in front of the bevel pointer. This
plate prevents wood resin from ascumuIating on the bev_i soa_e during use.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOP TO 45" LE_ OR RIGHT (FIG, 8)
NOTE: Adjust the 45 _' be'_l angles only after performing the (7_ bevel angle and pointer
adjustment, Ensure the 45 ° bevel override le#ers (N) are pushed inward to obtain an accurate
