ADJUSTMENTS
PIVOT POINTS
The following adjustments are made at the factory and normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT
The saw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself. If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have saw repaired by a qualified service technician to avoid risk of personal injury.
BEVEL PIVOT
The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the left. If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have saw repaired by a qualified service technician.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions the blade 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) from the miter table support.
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 12 in. (305 mm) saw blade provided with the saw. Therefore, the depth stop should not need an adjustment for the saw blade provided.
WARNING:
If any part fails to function properly, do not operate this tool until you have it repaired by a qualified service technician. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
