TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE

See Figure 53.

You can set the miter gauge at 0° and plus or minus 45° with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.

NOTE: The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.

[] Loosen knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter gauge base past stop screws.

[] Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin with a 8 mm wrench.

[] Place a 90° square against the miter gauge rod and the miter gauge base.

[] If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod, and tighten the knob.

[] Adjust the 0° stop screw until it rests against the stop pin.

[] Adjust the plus and minus 45° stop screws using a 45° triangle and the steps above.

The angle settings of the saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not re- quire setting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need to be checked.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Raise the blade.

if the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°):

[] Loosen the adjustment screw and the bevel locking lever.

[] Turn the handle until the bevel indicator points to zero. If the handle is turned as far as possible and doesn't indicate zero properly, you may need to adjust the bevel indicator.

NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the handle to adjust the bevel indicator.
