Your compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been bumped out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking your saw, check the following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that your saw is cutting accurately.
