2.Usea4footstraightedgeorlevelby placingitflatagainstthe blade.

7.Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line as closely as possible.

8.The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not, adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the blade.

Chassis Lubrication

■Blade Shaft Bearings - Two zerk fittings are located at the lower-front area of the saw. Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality automotive or general purpose grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals which can result in bearing exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting surface.
