Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin

to hold the saw arm in transport position. See Figure 3.

The edge of the square and the saw blade should be

parallel as shown in figure 21.

If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away

from the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjust-

ments are needed.

Using the miter lock handle, move the miter table left or

right until the saw blade is parallel to the square.

Position saw in tilted position and tighten the two socket

head screws securely.

Reposition saw to its normal operating position.

Recheck the fence-to-table alignment.

may be necessary to loosen the scale indicator screw

and reset the indicator to zero.
