SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE

See Figures 21 - 24.

■Unplug your saw.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

■If saw is mounted to a workbench, it must be unmounted to square the saw blade to the fence.

■Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position. See Figure 3.

■Place saw on a large, stable work surface.

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

■Position saw in tilted position as shown in figure 24, to locate the two socket head screws under the miter table.

CAUTION:

To prevent loss of control of your saw, hold saw base with one hand while loosening the socket head screws with your other hand.

■Using a 10 mm hex key, loosen the two socket head screws.

■Reposition saw to its normal operating position.

■Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square against the flat part of saw blade.

NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

■The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 21.

■If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjust- ments are needed.

■Using the miter lock handle, move the miter table left or right until the saw blade is parallel to the square.

■Position saw in tilted position as shown in figure 24 and tighten the two socket head screws securely.

■Reposition saw to its normal operating position.

■Recheck the fence-to-table alignment.
