1. Unplug the saw.
/KWARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury!
2. Loosen (unscrew) the Miter Lock
Handle approximately one-half turn.
3. Depress the Miter Lock Plate and
rotate the Miter Table until the
pointer is at 0 °.
4. Release the Miter Lock Plate and
securely tighten the Miter Lock
Handle.
5. Loosen the Bevel Lock Handle.
6. Rotate the Bevel Rotating Housing
so the pointer is at 0 °. Tighten Bevel
Lock Handle.
7. Pull the saw arm "down" and
engage the lock pin. Saw arm
should now be in the transport
or storing position.
8. Now lay a framing square flat on
the miter table, placing one
leg of square flat up against the
Fence and the other leg flat
up against the saw blade
(See Fig. 11).
L
NOTE: Be sure that the square contacts the flat side of the blade, not the carbide teeth.
This can be easily done by easing the saw arm down with the blade in the throat plate
until the carbide teeth are below the table.
9. If the edge of the framing square is not parallel to the saw blade when it is flat up against
the fence, Ihen some simple adjustments can be made. (See Fig. 12).
10. Rotate one side of the entire miter saw up about 45" off of the surface you are working on
to expose the underside of the saw (See Fig. 13).
