CUTTING A SLOT IN THE ZERO

CLEARANCE THROAT PLATE

In order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for blade clearance. To cut the slot, set your saw at 0 degrees miter, turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the throat plate. Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before raising the saw arm.

Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45 degrees, turn your saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make another cut through the zero clearance

•Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to release the saw arm.

•Raise saw arm to its full raised position.

•Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one- half turn.

Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table until the pointer on the control arm is posi- tioned 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. Place the other leg of the square beside the zero clearance throat plate in the miter table. The edge of the square and the zero clearance throat plate in the miter table should be parallel as shown in figure 13.

If the edge of the framing square and the zero clearance throat plate in the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 14 and 15, adjust- ments are needed.
