SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE

See Figures 23 – 26.

Remove battery pack from saw.

WARNING:

Failure to remove battery pack from your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.

Lift the miter table clamp.

Rotate the miter table until the pointer is posi- tioned at 0°.

Push the miter table clamp back down.

Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square against the flat part of saw blade.

Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 23.
