ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 13 - 18.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately
Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table until the pointer on the control arm is positioned at 0°.
Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter lock handle.
Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 14.
If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 15 and 16, adjust- ments are needed.
CAUTION:
To keep from losing control of the unit, steady the base with one hand while loosening the two bolts with the other hand.
With the unit securely resting on a large stable surface, tilt the unit by lifting up on one side of the base.
Using a combination wrench, loosen the two cap head screws on the underside of the saw table.
Return the saw to its normal resting position. Make sure the miter lock knob is loose but do not release the miter lock plate.
Use the miter saw knob to move the table so that the blade contacts the full length of the framing square. Turn the miter lock knob clockwise to lock saw square to the fence.
Tilt the unit by lifting up on one side of the base and tighten cap head screws.
Recheck blade squareness to fence and readjust if necessary.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust- ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicators screws and reset them to zero. See Figure 18.
