Adjusting the cutting angle

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:

Miter angle
002242
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten two clamp screws
to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the turn base so that
the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. Then turn the turn base
slightly clockwise and counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0°
miter notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the
hex bolts securing the guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in
002209
the stopper pin. Square the side of the blade with the face of the guide
fence using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the
hex bolts on the guide fence in the order from the right side.
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. If the pointer

does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the pointer and
adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0°.
