g. Use a combination square to check that the
blade is 45° to the table. Remove the rule
blade from the combination square. Place
only the combination square's head on the
saw's table with its long flat side resting on
the table and its 45° side against the tilted
blade (Fig. 15).
h. Check that only the saw blade's plate (not
teeth) is touching the square's 45° side. If the
saw blade's plate is not in full contact with the
square's head 45° side, follow the "Adjusting
45° Bevel Stop" procedures.
ADJUSTING 45° BEVEL STOP (FIG. 16)
a. Insert the Allen key into the bevel stop screw
as shown.
b. While turning bevel stop screw, watch the
blade tilt – turn the screw until the saw blade
plate is in full contact with the 45° side of the
square's head.
c. If needed, adjust bevel scale pointers to be
in line with the bevel scale's 45° lines. First,
adjust right bevel pointer; then tilt saw head
to the right 45° stop position and adjust the
left bevel pointer. Tilt the saw head to the
0° position – both pointers should be on the
bevel scale's 0° lines.
d. Press the bevel-lock lever down to lock the
bevel at desired angle.
BEVEL LOCK TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Unlock the bevel-lock lever to release tension.
Grab the main handle and slowly tilt the saw
to left or right. If it feels too hard to tilt, an
adjustment may be required.
a. Remove the battery pack.
b. Adjust the bevel lock tension nut using
a 24mm socket wrench (not included). If
resistance is too low, slightly (1/16th turn)
tighten the nut. If resistance is too high,
slightly (1/16th turn) loosen the nut.
c. Move the bevel to left or right and check the
tension again.
