Adjusting the cutting angle

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by the stopper pin. Push the carriage toward the guide
fence. Loosen the grip and the screws which secure the
pointer and miter angle scale.
► Fig.77: 1. Screw on pointer 2. Screws on miter
angle scale 3. Miter scale
Set the turn base to the 0° position using the positive stop
function. Square the side of the blade with the face of the guide
fence using a triangular rule or try-square. While keeping the
square, tighten the screws on the miter angle scale. After that,
align the pointers (both right and left) with the 0° position in the
miter angle scale and then tighten the screw on the pointer.
► Fig.78: 1. Triangular rule
Bevel angle
0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and lock the slid-
ing movement by the stopper pin. Lower the handle fully and
lock it in the lowered position by the stopper pin and then
loosen the knob. Turn the 0° adjusting bolt two or three rev-
olutions counterclockwise to tilt the saw blade to the right.
► Fig.79: 1. 0° Adjusting bolt 2. Screw
Carefully square the side of the saw blade with the top sur-
face of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-square,
etc. by turning the 0° adjusting bolt clockwise. Then tighten
the knob firmly to secure the 0° angle you have set.
► Fig.80: 1. Triangular rule 2. Saw blade 3. Top sur-
face of turn base
Check if the side of the saw blade squares with the
turn base surface once again. Loosen the screw on the
pointer. Align the pointer with 0° position in the bevel
angle scale and then tighten the screw.
45° bevel angle
NOTICE:
Before adjusting the 45° bevel angle,
finish 0° bevel angle adjustment.
Loosen the knob and fully tilt the carriage to the side
that you want to check. Check if the pointer indicates
the 45° position in the bevel angle scale.
► Fig.81
If the pointer does not indicate the 45° position, align
it with 45° position by turning the adjusting bolt on the
opposite side of the bevel angle scale.

ing bolt
Adjusting the sub fences
Adjust the sub fences on the sub bases if they are not
aligned with guide fences.
1.
Loosen the bolts securing the sub fences using
the hex wrench.
2. Place a straight rigid bar, such as a square steel
member, flat against the guide fences.
3. While the bar is flat against the guide fences,
place the sub fences so that the face of the sub fence
becomes flat against the bar. After that, tighten the
bolts.
