pointer is exactly on 90º. Retighten the screw.

Adjusting the Bevel Angle

1.For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table.

2.To check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position. Make a cut on a piece of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material.

3.Check the cut with an accurate square. The cut should be at exactly 90º. You can also check by rotating one cut-off piece 180º and hold the cut ends together. If the cut is not exactly vertical, the two pieces will form a slight angle.

4.If necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel Adjustment Screw on the right side under the Bevel Locking Lever.

5.Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to read 0º when the Saw Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw holding the Indicator in place, adjust it to be exactly over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw.

Adjusting or Replacing the Kerf

Board

1.If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced.

2.Remove the four screws holding the Kerf Board in place.

3.Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the four screws and tighten them slightly.

4.To adjust the Kerf Board, lower the Saw Blade and lock it down with the Locking Pin. Adjust the Kerf Board so the right side of the Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board. Loosen the Bevel Lock and set the Bevel Angle at 45º left. Ensure that the left side of the Blade clears the Kerf Board. Tighten the four screws holding the Kerf Board in place.

Cleaning and Lubricating the

Miter Saw

1.Observe the Dust Bag while using the saw. Empty the sawdust into an appropriate container when the bag is full.

2.Occasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that accumulates on the saw. Saw dust on the Fence can cause you to make inaccurate cuts.

3.Keep the Slides free of sawdust. Wipe or blow them off as required. Use a dry lubricant or wax on the slides. Do not use an oil or grease lubricant, as this will attract dust.

4.Occasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table as well as other moving parts with a dry lubricant.
