PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
Note: These adjustments were made at the factory and normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
•The saw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself.
If the sew arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have sew repaired by a qualified service technician at a Sears store to avoid risk of personal injury.
BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
BI Your compound miter saw should bevel easily by
loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting the sew arm to the left.
•If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have saw repaired by a qualified service techni- cian at your nearest Sears store.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade'sdownward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions the blade 1/4 in. from the miter table sup-
port.
Note" The miter table support is located inside miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 10 in. saw blade provided with your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never need adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table support before starting the saw. Make adjustments if needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 25.
•Unplug your saw.

AWARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
BI To adjust the depth stop use a 17 mm wrench or adjustable wrench and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter saw arm.
