See Figures 23 - 26.
• Unplug your saw.
• Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release the saw arm.
• Raise saw arm to its full raised position.
• Loosen the miter lock handle.
• Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned
at 0.
• Securely tighten the miter lock handle.
• Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Place the other
leg of the square beside the throat plate in the miter
table. The edge of the square and the slot in the throat
plate in the miter table should be parallel as shown in
figure 23.
• If the edge of the framing square and the throat plate
in the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 24
and 25, adjustments are needed.
• Using the blade wrench, loosen the socket head
screws securing the fence. Adjust the fence left or right
until the framing square and throat plate are parallel.
• Retighten the screws securely and recheck the fence-
to-table alignment.
