ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Begin by unplugging your saw. Failure to unplug saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

TO ADJUST THE MITER FENCE

HEX NUT STAR WASHER

MITER

TABLE

￿ Set the miter fence (H) at 0° as shown in figure 46. Miter

indicator (I) should be set precisely on 0° and secured in

place with adjusting clamp (F).

￿ There are four slides located under the sliding miter table.

These slides let the miter table move on the base. Three

slides are mounted on eccentric screws that can be

adjusted by loosening the hex nuts on top of the miter

table. See Figure 45.

￿ Loosen the rear hex nuts (K) on top of sliding miter table

for this adjustment procedure.

Note: The front screws are only needed to remove

excessive play in the slides due to wear from extended

use. They are not needed for this procedure. The right

front hex nut is a non-eccentric pivot and should never be

loosened.

￿ Adjust the right rear eccentric screw from the lower side

of the miter table so that maximum play exists between

the slide and miter base.

￿ Push left rear of miter table snugly against miter base as

shown by the arrow (M) in figure 46 and secure.

￿ Place a framing square firmly against the miter fence, with

the other side against the blade.

￿ Adjust left rear screw from underneath miter table until

miter fence and blade are square with each other.

￿ Tighten hex nut securely.

￿ Adjust right rear screw from underneath miter table to

remove excessive play.

￿ Tighten hex nut securely.

￿ Recheck your setups carefully. Also make sure all screws,

hex nuts, etc. have been tightened securely.

￿ If sliding miter table assembly is still not square with the

blade, repeat the above procedures as needed.

￿ Make sure that slides remain square to miter base edge

to prevent “cocking” which will result in excessive play in

miter table.

TO ADJUST QUICK-STOP

The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter fence at exactly 0°. However, when sliding miter table adjustments are made, these adjustments may cause the quick stop to need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter scale set at 0°. If adjustments are needed, proceed with the following steps:

￿Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick-stop.

￿Place the quick-stop against the miter fence with miter scale set at 0°. See Figure 47.

￿Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop securely against miter fence.

￿Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick- stop.

￿Check your work. If the quick-stop is not at 0°, repeat above steps.
