Unplug the saw. |
Pull the saw arm all the way down and lock in transport |
position. |
Lift the miter lock lever to unlock. Rotate the miter table |
and set the saw at 0° miter. |
NOTE: The miter table will seat itself in the index point. |
Lock the miter lock lever by pushing it down. |
Pull the bevel lock lever forward to unlock and set the saw |
at 0° bevel (blade set 90° to miter table and locked in bevel |
index point). Push the bevel lock lever back to relock. |
Place a combination square against the miter table and |
the flat part of saw blade. |

alignment at several points. |
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be |
parallel as shown in figure 25. |
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from |
the square as shown in figures 26 and 27, adjustments |
are needed. |
Using a hex key, loosen the two screws inside the pivot |
assembly. See Figure 24. Move the saw head as needed |
to bring the saw blade into alignment with the square. |
Retighten the screws. |
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade |
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0° |
and 45° angles. |
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust- ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
