ROTATING THE TABLE
FOR MITER SAW CUTTING
1.The compound miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 0° cut to 47° right and left. Turn locking knob
(A)Fig. 12 counterclockwise, depress lock lever (B), and rotate table to desired position.
2.The compound miter saw is equipped with positive stops at the 0° cut-off position and at the 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°, and 45° left and right positions.
3.The center line, (C) Fig. 13, on the cursor indicates the actual angle of cut. Each scale line (B) represents 1°. In effect, when the center line (C) is moved from one line to the next on the scale, the angle of the cut is changed by 1°.
4.The pointer is provided with two additional lines (D) and (E), Fig. 13. This allows movement of the control arm exactly 1/2°. For example, assume the center line (C) is pointing to the 10° mark on the scale, as indicated, and and the angle of cut is 1/2° to the right. Move the control arm until the right line (E) lines up with the next line on the scale. The angle of cut will then be changed 1/2° to the right. If you change the angle of cut 1/2° to the left, use the left line (D) in the same manner.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN MOVABLE TABLE AND BASE
1.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2.To adjust the sliding fit between the movable table and the base, turn nut (A) Fig. 14, clockwise to increase the sliding fit (opposite to decrease the fit). This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the rotating movement of the table, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.
