Recheck
Note: The above procedurecan be used to check blade squareness of the saw blade to the miter
table at both 0° and 45° angles.
Your saw has three scale indicators,two on either side of the bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustmentshave been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicatorsscrews and reset them to zero.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
Note: These adjustmentswere made at the factory and normallydo not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
•The saw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself.
•If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivotjoints, have saw repaired by a qualified service technicianat your nearest Sears store to avoid riskof personal injury.

•If movement is tightor if there is play in the pivot, have saw repaired by a qualified service techni- cian at your nearest Sears store to avoid dsk of personalinjury.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limitsthe blade'sdownward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cuttingcapacities. The depth stop posi- tions the blade 114 in. from the miter table support.
Note: The miter table supportis located inside miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to providemaximum cutting capacityfor the 12 in. saw blade providedwith your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never need adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening,it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cuffing capacity.Also, when a new blade is installed, it Is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table supportbefore starting the saw. Make adjustmentsif needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 25.
•Unplug your saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplugyour saw could result in accidental startingcausing possible
serious personal injury.
