Adjustments for Mitre Saw Mode
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due to shipping and
handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw. Once
made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Fence (Fig. H1–H3)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
65
and depress the mitre latch
(Fig. H1).
2. Swing the rotating table until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position. Do not tighten
the knob.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
4. Place a square
68
against the left side
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws
69
(Fig. H3) and move the scale/rotating table assembly left or right
until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square (Fig. H2).
2. Retighten the screws
69
(Fig. H3). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre pointer at
this point.
Adjusting the Mitre Pointer (Fig. H1, H4)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
65
and depress the mitre latch
(Fig. H1).
2. With the mitre knob loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as you rotate the mitre
arm past zero.
3. Observe the pointer
70
and mitre scale
exactly zero, loosen the screw
72
, move the pointer to read 0° and tighten the screw.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Table (Fig. I1–I3)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
16
(Fig. I1).
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten the bevel
clamp knob.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
4. Place a set square
