Miter Lock Lever Adjustment

With the blade set at an "unindexed" miter
position (other than 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°,
45° and 60°) and the miter lock lever set
in the "locked" position the locking action
should feet tight and secure.
Considerable effort should be required to
move the table (blade). While it is always
possible to force the table to move, it
should resist moving when a reasonable
amount of force is applied.
To check, follow these steps:
1. Release miter lock lever and position
blade at an "unindexed" position. Lock
the miter lock lever.
2. Try and rotate the table/blade. If the
table easily moves:
a. Release the miter lock lever. Locate
the set screw underneath the miter
lock lever.
b. Use a 4mm hex wrench to adjust the
set screw.
c. Lock the miter lock lever and try mov-
ing the table. Readjust if necessary.
