Adjustments

Before attempting any adjust- ments – To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock make sure the trigger is released and remove the power cord from the power source. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Note: Your miter saw was adjusted at the factory. However, during shipment slight misalignment may have occurred. Check the following settings and adjust if necessary prior to using this miter saw.

Bevel Stop Adjustments

90°(0°) Bevel Adjustment

1.Turn the bevel lock handle (A, Fig. 8) clockwise to loosen and tilt the cutting arm while pushing the bevel detent pin (E, Fig. 10) in against the 0° bevel stop. Turn the bevel lock handle (A, Fig. 8) counterclockwise to tighten.

2.Place a combination square on the miter table with the rule against the table and heel of the square against the saw blade.

If the blade is not 0° to the miter table:

3.Using a 5mm hex wrench, loosen four adjustment bolts (B, Fig. 9) at the back of the miter saw. Unlock the bevel lock handle (A, Fig.

8)and position the cutting arm to be zero degrees to the table using the combination square as your reference.

4.Tighten the bevel lock handle (A, Fig. 8) and the four adjustment bolts (B, Fig. 9).

Bevel Scale Indicators

1.Set the blade to be exactly 90°(0°) to the table.

2.With cross-point screwdriver, loosen two bevel indicator screws (C, Fig. 9).

3.Adjust bevel indicators (D, Fig. 9) to the “0” mark on the bevel scale and retighten the screws (C, Fig. 9).

45° Left Bevel Positive Stop Adjustment

1.Set the miter angle to zero degrees. Fully extend the sliding fence completely to the left then pull the bevel detent pin (E, Fig. 10) out.

Note: When retracting the bevel detent pin, it may be required to slightly shift the upper arm assembly right or left.
