ADJUSTMENTS

￿The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 14.

￿If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 15 and 16, adjust- ments are needed.

￿Loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter fence to the miter table. See Figure 13.

￿Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square.

￿Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-to- fence alignment.

￿Insert the throat plate, lower the blade and secure with the screws. Tighten firmly. See page 18 for instruction regarding Òcutting a slot in the zero clearance throat plateÓ.

Your saw has scale indicators. After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicators screws and reset them to zero. See Figure 17.
