ADJUSTMENTS
If blade is not 45º to the table:
 Loosen 45º stop screw until it is even with the top of the
saw table using a hex key.
 Release the bevel locking lever and position the bevel
adjusting handwheel until blade is 45º to the table. Lock
the bevel locking lever.
 Screw the 45º stop screw until the saw blade starts to
move. Check again for squareness and readjust if needed.
 Check bevel indicator.
 If indicator is not pointing to the 45º mark on the bevel
scale, loosen the indicator adjusting screw and adjust
indicator.
 Retighten screw.
TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE
See Figures 61 - 62.
You can set the miter gauge at 0º and plus or minus 45º
with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.
NOTE: The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled
cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
To adjust stop screws:
 Loosen the lock knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate
miter gauge base past stop screws.
 Loosen the lock nut of the 0º stop screw at the stop pin
with a wrench.
 Place a 90º square against the miter gauge rod and the
miter gauge base.
 If the rod is not square, loosen the lock knob, adjust the
rod, and retighten the knob.
 Adjust the stop screw until it rests against the stop pin
and tighten lock nut.
To adjust miter gauge base:
The miter gauge base should swivel smoothly on the bar
after the knob is loosened. If adjustment is required:
 Loosen the lock knob.
 Loosen set screw.
 If the base is too loose, turn the phillips head screw in a
clockwise direction. If the base is too tight, turn the flat
head screw in a counterclockwise direction.
 Retighten set screw.
