_k WARNING: Do not start your compound miter saw
without checking for interference between the blade

the blade if it strikes the miter table support during

adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the screw counter-clockwise and raised by turning the

the miter table. Check blade clearance and maximum
cutting distance (distance from fence where blade
enters) to front of miter table slot.

wrench.
• To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turn-
ing while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it with
the hex key wrench while tightening the
hex nut.
