SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE

See Figures 21 - 24.

Unplug the saw.

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

Lift the miter lock lever.

Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.

Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.

Lay a 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 20.

If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 23 and 24, adjust- ments are needed.

Using the blade wrench, loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter fence to the miter table. See figure 21.

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.
