Squaring The Miter Table To The Fence - Craftsman 315.212500 Operator's Manual

Note: Many of the illustrations in this manual show
only portions of your compound miter saw. This is
intentional so that we can clearly show points being
made in the illustrations. Never operate your saw
without all guards securely in place and in good
operating condition.
