ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 27 - 30.
Unplug the saw. |
Pull the saw arm all the way down and lock in transport |
position. |
Lift the miter lock lever. |
Rotate the miter table until the pointer on the miter scale |
is positioned at 0°. |
Lock the miter lock lever by pushing it down. |
Lift the bevel lock lever to loosen and set the saw at 0° |
bevel (blade set 90° to miter table). Retighten the bevel |
lock lever by pushing it down. |
Place a combination square against the miter table and |
the flat part of saw blade. |
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part |
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth. |
Rotate the blade by hand and check the |
alignment at several points. |
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be |
parallel as shown in figure 28. |
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from |
the square as shown in figures 29 and 30, adjustments |
are needed. |
Lift the bevel lock lever. |
Using the blade wrench, loosen the two socket head |
screws securing the bevel scale and slide the pivot |
assembly left or right as needed to bring the saw blade |
into alignment with the square. Retighten the socket |
head screws. |
Retighten the bevel lock lever by pushing it down. |
Recheck |
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade |
