NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional
so that we can clearly show points being made in the
illustrations. Never operate the saw without all guards
securely in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 13 - 16.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
 Lift the miter lock lever.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
 Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of
the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the
square against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
 The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 14.
 If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 15 and 16, adjust-
ments are needed.
 Using the blade wrench, loosen the socket head
screws that secure the miter fence to the miter table.
See figure 13.
 Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is
parallel with the square.
 Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-
to-fence alignment.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments
have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indi-
cator screws and reset them to zero.
