ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
machine off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment
due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the
steps below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should
remain accurate.
Adjusting the Rails for Constant Cutting Depth
(Fig. A, B, F, G)
The blade must run at a constant cutting depth along the full length of the
table and must not touch the fixed table at the rear of the slot or at the front
of the rotating arm. To achieve this, the rails must be perfectly parallel to the
table when the saw head is fully depressed.
1. Press the lower guard lock up release lever
2. Press the saw head fully to the rear position and measure the height
from the rotating table
13
to the bottom of the outer flange
3. Turn the saw head rail lock knob
4. Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head to the end of
its travel.
5. Measure the height indicated in Figure F again. Both values should
be identical.
6. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows (Fig. G):
a. Loosen the locknut
37
in the bracket
as required, proceeding in small steps.
b. Tighten the locknut
37
.
WARNING: Always check that the blade does not touch the table at
the rear of the slot or at the front of the rotating arm at 90° vertical and
45° bevel positions. Do not switch on before having checked this!
