will zero the stop points to be correct at 45 degrees and 0 degrees of
bevel (vertical or 90 degrees to the cutting surface).
3. Check the settings with a square against the blade.
4. Re-tighten the locking nuts once the angles are correct.
Once the bevel is correct, the red bevel degree indicator at the back can
be adjusted to indicate the exact angle in the following way:
1. Loosen the philips head screw and re-set the indicator to read exactly 0
degrees when the vertical stop is contacted.
2. Re-tighten the screw.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Keep your tool in good condition by adopting a regular maintenance
program.
WARNING! Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power
switch and disconnect plug from power source.
● Before use, examine the general condition of your tool.
● Inspect blades, switches, tool cord and extension cord for damage.
● Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts,
improper mounting, broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect its' safe operation.
● If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and
have the problem corrected before further use.
● Do not use a damaged tool.
● Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's
electrical system.
● Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible
electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
● Keep the tool housing and handle clean and free of oil and grease
using mild soap and a damp (not wet) cloth.
● Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean your tool since certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated
parts. Some of these harmful solvents include: gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia,
and household detergents containing ammonia.
● The plastic table kerf plate insert should be replaced if damaged to
reduce the risk of chips lodging in the slot and catching in the blade.
● Lubrication is done at the factory and with the exception of the slide
bearings, should not be necessary again under normal use.
● An authorized repair center should do any repairs, modification, or
maintenance that involve disassembling the saw.
● Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair
center. Contact General International for all repairs.
WARNING! Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to
the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow liquid to flow inside the
tool.
