33.9° Bevel Adjustment (Fig. P)

1.Push the bevel detent pin (10) in toward the front of the unit.

2.Unlock the bevel lock handle and tilt the cutting arm to the crown molding positive stop at 33.9o.

3.Using a combination square, check to see if the blade angle is 33.9o to the table.

4.If the blade is not at 33.9o to the miter table, loosen locknut (11) and use a 10 mm wrench to adjust the bolt (12) in or out until the blade is at 33.9o to the miter table.

5.Secure the locknut (11) into position after alignment is achieved.

MITER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. Q)

The sliding compound miter saw scale can be easily read, showing miter angles from 0° to 45° to the left, and 0° to 45° to the right. The miter saw table has nine of the most common angle setttings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the process below for quickest and most accurate adjustments.

1.Unlock the miter table by turning the miter handle (1) counterclockwise.

2.Move the turntable while lifting up on the positive stop locking lever

(2) to align the indicator (3) to the desired degree measurement.

3.If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops, release the positive stop locking lever, making sure the lever snaps into position, and then secure by tightening the miter handle.

4.If the miter angle desired is not one of the nine positive stops, simply lock the miter table into position by turning the miter handle in the clockwise direction.
