SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE (See Figs. 16-19)
1, Unplug the saw.
/ WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury!
2. Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in the
transport position.
3. Loosen the miter lock levers.
4. Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned at 0°.
5. Securely tighten the miter lock levers.
6. 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 flat part of the saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
7. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 16.
8. If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 17
and 18, adjustments are needed.
9. Use the 14mm blade wrench to loosen the hex screws that secure the mounting bracket to the
miter table.
10. Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square.
11. Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade to fence alignment.
