ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back until the slot in the cover
plate engages with the cover plate screw (2). Tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Lower the blade guard.
6. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely.
WARNING
• To avoid injury, never use the saw without the cover plate
secure in place. It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out if it
accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the spinning blade
from coming off the saw.
• Make sure the collars are clean and properly arranged.
Lower the blade into the table and check for any contact
with the metal base or the turn table.
INSTALLING THE HOLD-DOWN CLAMP ASSEMBLY (FIG. H)
1. Loosen the lock knob (3) from the rear side of the saw base (4).
2. Place the hold-down clamp assembly (1) in one of the
mounting holes (2).
3. Tighten the lock knob (3).
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the plug is not connected to the
power source outlet.
ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (FIG. I)
1. Loosen the two fence locking bolts (1).
2. Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
3. Using a square, lay the heel of the square against the
blade, and the rule against the fence (2) as shown. Check
to see if the fence is 90° to the blade.
4. If not, adjust fence 90° to the blade and tighten the fence
locking bolts.
CAUTION: If the saw has not been used recently, recheck
blade squareness to the fence and readjust if needed.

MITER SCALE (FIG. J)
The miter scale assists the user in setting the desired miter
angles from 47° left to 47° right. The miter saw table has nine
of the most common angle setttings with positive stops at 0°,
15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position the
blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
To Adjust the Angle:
1. Unlock the miter table by turning the miter handle (1)
counterclockwise.
2. Press down the positive stop locking lever (2) while
holding the miter handle, and rotate the table left or right
to the desired angle.
3. Release positive stop locking lever. Tighten miter handle.
To Adjust the Indicator:
1. Position the miter table at zero degrees.
2. Loosen the pointer screw (4) and adjust the indicator (3) to
the 0° mark on the miter scale (5) and retighten the screw.
CUTTING ARM TRAVEL (FIG. K)
Cutting arm pivot adjustment
The up and down pivot movement of the cutting arm (1) should
not be too tight, restricting movement, nor too loose, affect-
ing the accuracy of the saw cut. The correct adjusting nut (2)
adjustment is snug, allowing no side-toside arm movement. To
adjust, tighten or loosen the adjusting nut (2).
