ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating.

NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra- tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely in place and in good operating condition.

SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE

See Figures 15 - 19.

Unplug the saw.

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

Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn.

Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator on the control arm is positioned at 0°.

Securely tighten the miter lock handle.

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 16.

If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 17 and 18, adjust- ments are needed.

Loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter fence to the saw base.

Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square.

Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-to- fence alignment.

The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
