The bevel-locking force has been set at the factory. After a period of time, you may need to adjust the locking mechanism. To adjust, place the bevel-locking handle (A) Fig. 28 in the “UP” position and tighten the nut (A) Fig. 33.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN TRUNNION AND BEVEL BRACKET

After a period of time, it may become necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the trunnion and the bevel bracket by tightening the adjusting nut (C) Fig. 33 at the rear of the tool.

Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the tilting movement of the trunnion when bevel cutting, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING

The tension of the cuttinghead return spring has been adjusted at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the “up” position after a cut has been made. To re-adjust the spring tension, loosen the nut (A) Fig. 34 and turn the adjusting screw

(B) Fig. 34 clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension. Tighten nut (A) securely.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN CUTTINGHEAD ARM AND TRUNNION

After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 35, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
