ADJUSTMENTS

TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE TO THE BLADE

See Figure 58.

Unplug the saw.

Raise the locking lever to permit the rip fence to be moved.

Place a framing square beside the blade and move the rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip scale.

Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180° to check the other side.

If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two screws on the fence and align it.

Retighten the two screws.

Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process.

warning:

Before plugging the saw back in to make test cuts, make sure the switch is in the off position and the blade guard is in place. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

To adjust Quick-Stop

See Figure 59.

The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter fence at exactly 0°. However, when sliding miter table adjustments are made, these adjustments may cause the quick stop to need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter scale set at 0°. If adjustments are needed, proceed with the following steps:

Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick stop.

Place the quick stop against the miter fence with miter scale set at 0°.

Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop securely against miter fence.

Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick- stop.

Check your work. If the quick stop is not at 0°, repeat above steps.
