45° Bevel Adjustment (Fig. O)
1. Unlock the bevel lock handle (1)
and tilt the cutting arm as far to the
left as possible.
2. Using a combination square, check
to see if the blade angle is 45° to
the table.
3. If the blade is not at 45° to the miter
table, tilt the cutting arm to the right,
loosen the locknut (5) on the bevel
angle adjustment bolt (4) and use
a wrench to adjust the bolt (4) in
or out to increase or decrease the
bevel angle.
4. Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45°
bevel and recheck for alignment.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the
blade is at 45° to the miter table.
6. Tighten bevel lock handle and
locknut (5) when alignment is
achieved.
NOTE:
For avoiding the interference
caused by the left sliding fence unit
during adjustment, slide the plate

MITER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. P)
NOTE: There are dual miter scales on
the miter saw. Each of the miter scales
assists the user in setting the desired
miter angle from 50° forward to 50°
backward. Each sliding table has most
common angle settings with positive
stops at 45°, 22.5° and 0°. These
positive stops position the sliding fence
unit at the desired angle quickly and
accurately.
To adjust the angle:
1. Unlock the left sliding fence unit by
unlocking the positive stop lock lever
(1) behind the sliding fence unit and
lifting up the lock lever (2) pivotally
connected in the base.
2. Slide the left sliding fence unit
forward or backward to the desired
angle.
3. If the desired angle is one of the
five detents (6), lock the positive
stop lock lever, and then flip the lock
lever down to lock the left sliding
fence unit.
4. If the desired angle is not one of the
five positive stops, simply lock the
left sliding fence unit by flipping the
lock lever down.
5. Adjust the angle of the right
sliding fence unit according to the
procedure foregoing 1-4.
To adjust the indicator:
1. Position the left sliding fence unit at
the positive stop angle 0° (refer to the
procedure of To adjust the angle),
loosen the bolt (3) and adjust the
indicator (4) to aim at the 0° mark on
the miter scale (5).
2. Adjust the indicator mounted on the
right sliding fence unit according to
the same way mentioned above.
