Miter Detent System

To avoid possible injury, ! WARNING disconnect plug from power

source before performing any assembly, adjustments or repairs.

Calibrating Miter Detent System

1.Engage the miter detent at the 0° position. Loosen the miter lock knob 1/2 turn.

2.Look for four round holes in the miter scale plate. In each hole is a screw. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen all four screws 1 to 2 turns. This will loosen the miter detent plate (see figure 12).

3.Slide the head assembly completely to the back and engage the slide rail lock knob by tightening the knob to the right (clockwise) (item 25 - page 9).

4.Lock saw down using the head assembly lock pin (item 36 – page 9).

5.Hold one side of a 90° combination square against the fence and rotate the table (and detent plate) until the side of the saw blade plate is in full contact with the other side of the square...do not contact the blade teeth with the sqaure (figure 13).

6.Tighten all four screws – loosen and reset the miter scale pointer to the “0” position.
