StepThree--Checking
and Adjusting
Blade Square-
ness to Fence (Front Fence
Position)
1. To check blade squareness
to fence, use a combina-
tion square
Place the square
against the fence and
next to the blade as illustrated.
Place the square
so
the set in the teeth won't hold it from the blade. The
blade should
contact
the full length of the square
2. If blade
contacts
full length
of square,
proceed
to
next step
If blade
is not square
to the fence, follow
the alignment
procedure.
a. Loosen
miter lock handle
a half turn. The latch
handle
should
still be secured
with blade in low-
ered position.
NOTE:
Take the
saw
off its stand,
bench
or
plywood
base if readjustment
is necessary.
CAUTION:
To keep from
losing
control
of the unit,
steady
the base
with
one
hand
while
loosening
the two bolts
with the other
hand.
b. With the unit securely
resting
on a large stable
surface,
tilt the unit by lifting up on one side or
the other of the base. Loosen
the two miter arm
bolts on the underside
of the turn table
with a
b{' wrench
or socket. Tilt the unit by lifting up on
one side or the other of the base.
c. Return
the saw
to its normal
resting
position.
Make sure the miter lock handle
is loose but do
not release
the index spring.
d. Use the miter saw handle
to turn the turn table
and saw so that the blade contacts
the full length
of the square. Watch
out for tooth set. Turn the
miter lock handle
clockwise
to lock saw square
to fence
e. Tilt saw as in Step B and tighten
bolts.
f. Recheck
blade squarenesss
to fence and read-
just if necessary.
