Note: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra- tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely in place and in good operating condition.

Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Place the other leg of the square beside the throat plate in the miter table. The edge of the square and the throat plate in the miter table should be parallel as shown in figure 18.
If the edge of the square and the throat plate in the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 19 and 20, adjustments are needed.
Using the blade wrench provided, loosen the socket head screws securing the fence. Adjust the fence left or right until the square and throat plate are parallel.
