MITRE SCALE
(Fig. 10)
The sliding compound mitre saw scale can be easily read,
showing mitre angles from 0° to 45° to the left, and 0°
to 45° to the right. The mitre saw table has nine of the
most common angle settings with positive stops at 0°,
15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°. These positive stops position
the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
Follow the process below for quickest and most accurate
adjustments.
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following as needed.
To Adjust Mitre Angles:
•
Unlock the table by turning the mitre handle (1)
counter-clockwise.
•
Move the table while lifting up on the positive stop
locking lever (2) to align the indicator (3) to the
desired degree measurement.
•
If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops,
release the positive stop locking lever, making sure
the lever snaps into position, and then secure by
tightening the mitre handle.
•
If the mitre angle desired is not one of the nine
positive stops, simply lock the table into desired angle
position by turning the mitre handle in the clockwise
direction.
Mitre Angle Pointer Adjustment
•
Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
•
Loosen the screw (4) that holds the indicator with a cross-head screwdriver.
•
Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark and retighten the screw.
ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS
•
Loosen the fence lock knob and then pull out the upper sliding fence.
•
Lower the cutting head and lock in position.
•
Using a square (1), lay the heel of the square against the blade and the ruler against the fence (2) as
shown.
•
Loosen the two fence locking bolts (3) with a 6 mm hex wrench.
•
Adjust the fence 90° to the blade and tighten the two fence locking bolts.

After fence has been aligned, make a cut at 90° using
a scrap piece of wood and check squareness on the
piece. Readjust if necessary.
BEVEL STOP ADJUSTMENT
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory, but
1
rough handling may have affected the alignment. If your tool
is not aligned properly, perform the following as needed.
90° (0°) Bevel Adjustment
•
Loosen bevel lock knob (1) and tilt the pivot arm
completely to the right. Tighten the bevel lock knob.
•
Place a combination square (2) on the mitre table with
the ruler against the table and the heel of the square
against the saw blade.
•
If the blade is not 90° square with the table, loosen the
bevel lock knob, tilt the cutting head to the left, loosen
the locknut (3) and turn the bevel angle adjustment
bolt (4) in or out with a 3 mm hex wrench until the
blade is square with the table.
•
Tilt the pivot arm back to the right at 90° (0°) bevel
and recheck for alignment.
•
Repeat steps if further adjustment is needed.
•
Tighten bevel lock knob and locknut (3) when
alignment is achieved.
90° Bevel Pointer Adjustment
● W hen the blade is exactly 90° to the table, loosen the bevel
indicator screw (1) using a cross-head screwdriver.
•
Adjust bevel indicator (2) to the "0" mark on the bevel
scale and retighten the screw.
45° Bevel Adjustment
•
Loosen the bevel lock knob (1) and tilt the cutting head
completely to the left.
•
Using a combination square, check to see if the blade
is at a 45° angle to the table.
•
If the blade is not at 45° to the mitre table, tilt the pivot arm to the right, loosen the locknut (2) on
the bevel angle adjustment bolt (3) and use a 3 mm hex wrench to the adjust bolt depth in or out to
increase or decrease the bevel angle.
•
Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45° bevel and recheck for alignment.
