TURNING ON AND OFF
1. Pull the ON/OFF trigger switch found inside the front handle to start the
miter saw.
2. To turn the saw off, release the ON/OFF trigger switch.
SETTING THE TABLE SQUARE WITH THE BLADE
1. Make sure that the power cord is removed from the power source.
2. Push the saw arm down to its lowest position and engage the release knob
(FIGURE 2).
3. Loosen the miter table lock (FIGURE 4).
4. Rotate the table until the pointer is positioned at 0°.
5. Tighten the miter table lock (FIGURE 4).
6. Loosen the bevel lock (FIGURE 11) and set the saw arm at 0° bevel
(leaving the blade at 90° to the miter table). Tighten the bevel lock.
7. Place a set square against the table and the flat part of the blade (Figure
12).
NOTE - Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade,
not the teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at
several points.
9. The edge of the set square and the saw blade should be parallel.
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set square, adjust as follows.
11. Use a 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench to loosen the lock nut
securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (FIGURE 13) to bring the saw blade
into alignment with the square (FIGURE 19).
12. Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (FIGURE 13) to bring the saw
blade into alignment with the square (FIGURE 13).
13. Loosen the screw holding the pointer of the bevel scale and adjust
the position of the pointer so that it accurately indicates zero on the scale
(FIGURE 14). Retighten the screw.
14. Retighten the bevel lock (FIGURE 11) and the lock nut securing the 0°
bevel adjustment screw (FIGURE 13).
NOTE - The above procedure can also be used to check the angle of the
saw blade to the table at the 45° bevel angle.
