Step Four--Pivot
Adjustments
NOTE: These adjustments
were made at the factory
and normally do not require readjustment.
1. The miter saw should rise completely to the up posi-
tion by itself. If the saw will not raise by itself or if
there is play in the pivot joints the following adjust-
ments are necessary.
Travel Pivot Adjustments
a. Hold the pivot bolt with an adjustable or 1_A6" wrench.
Loosen the hex lock nut with an adjustable or Is/,6"
wrench.
b,
Recheck
the saw travel.
Saw should
rise freely
to
its up travel
stop. Check
to see that the saw will
raise from all positions
and there is no looseness
in
the pivot.
If saw still won't
fully
rise, have
Sears
Service
check
and repair it.

Bevel Pivot Adjustment
1. The miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the
bevel lock handle and tilting the power head to the
left. If movement is tight or if there is looseness in
the pivot follow the adjustment procedure.
a. Loosen the bevel lock handle.
b. Turn the hex lock nut with an adjustable or _5/1_"
wrench.
c. Recheck bevel movement of the miter saw. Re-
adjust if necessary.
Depth Stop
The depth stop limits the blades downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the work table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/_,, from the cast iron table support. The depth
stop is factory set and should never need adjustment.
Maintaining Maximum Cutting
Capacity
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOTPLUG
THE SAW IN. THE POWER CORD MUST REMAIN
UNPLUGGED WHENEVER YOU ARE WORKING ON
THE SAW.
Unplug the saw before any adjustment is attempted.
This too! is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10" saw blade provided. When the
diameter of the blade has been reduced clue to sharpen-
ing, it may be necessary to adjust depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity. When a new blade is in-
stalled, it is necessary to check the clearance of the
blade to the turn table structure.
1. To adjust the depth stop use an adjustable wrench
and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter
saw arm.
2. Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the depth stop
adjusting bolt. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the bolt counterclockwise
and raised by turning the
bolt clockwise.

3. Lower the blade into the slot of the turn table. Check
blade clearance and maximum cutting distance (dis-
tance from fence where blade enters) to front of turn
table slot. Readjust if necessary.
WARNING: DO NOT START THE MITER SAW WITH-
OUT CHECKING FOR INTERFERENCE
BETWEEN
THE BLADE AND THE TURN TABLE STRUCTURE.
DAMAGE COULD RESULT TO THE BLADE IF IT
STRIKES THE TURN TABLE STRUCTURE DURING
OPERATION OF THE SAW.
4. Tighten
the hex nut with an adjustable
wrench while
carefully
holding

bolt with
the flat blade
screwdriver
so it will not turn while
