ALIGNMENT
STEP FOUR: BLADE SQUARE TO TABLE
(BEVEL ADJUSTMENT) (FIG. 15)
Place the saw in the 0° bevel index position and
■
make sure bevel lock is disengaged.
Lower the blade and engage the head hold down.
■
Use a combination square to check that the blade is
■
90° to the table. If the blade does not contact the full
length of the square:
a. Lift the bevel lock lever.
b. Loosen the two socket head screws that secure
the bevel scale.
c. Grasp the upper metal guard and move the
powerhead left or right until the blade makes full
contact with the length of the square.
d. Securely tighten two socket head screws.
ADJUST BEVEL SCALE INDICATOR (FIG. 16)
Loosen the Phillips screw that holes the indicator
■
in place.
Reposition the indicator to align it with 0° mark and
■
retighten screw.
STEP FIVE: POSITIONING ZERO CLEARANCE
BLADE INSERT (WHEN MINIMAL TEAR OUT
OR CONTROL OF SMALL OFFAL IS DESIRED)
(FIG. 17)
Loosen the three screws that secure the zero
■
clearance blade insert on one side of the blade.
Slide the zero clearance blade insert in towards the
■
blade until it is as close to the blade as possible
without actually touching the blade.
Retighten the three screws.
■
Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side of the blade.
■
MITER LOCK LEVER ADJUSTMENT
With the blade set at an "unindexed" miter position
(other than 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60°) and the
miter lock lever set in the "locked" position the locking
action should feet tight and secure.Considerable effort
should be required to move the table (blade). While it is
always possible to force the table to move, it should resist
moving when a reasonable amount of force is applied.

ENGLISH
To check, follow these steps:
Release miter lock lever and position blade at an
■
"unindexed" position. Lock the miter lock lever.
Try and rotate the table. If the table easily moves:
■
- Release the miter lock lever. Locate the set screw
underneath the miter lock lever.
- Use a 4mm hex wrench to adjust the set screw.
- Lock the miter lock lever and try moving the table.
Readjust if necessary.
BEVEL LOCK LEVER ADJUSTMENT
With the blade set at an "unindexed" bevel position
(other than 0°, 22.5°, 33-7/8°, 45°) and the bevel lock
lever set in the "locked" position the locking action should
feel tight and secure.Considerable effort should be
required to move the blade. While it is always possible to
force the blade to move, it should resist moving when a
reasonable amount of force is applied.
If the bevel moves easily:
Release the bevel lock lever.
■
Locate the two 12 mm locking jam nuts (41) behind
■
the bevel lock lever.
Loosen the top locking jam nut.
■
To tighten the bevel lock lever mechanism turn the
■
bottom jam nut clockwise.To loosen the lock lever
mechanism turn the bottom jam nut counterclockwise.
Lock the bevel lock lever and try moving the blade.
■
Readjust if necessary.
Note: When unlocked the bevel mechanism should
freely pivot. A grating sound indicates the bevel
mechanism needs to be loosened slightly.
BEVEL PIVOT MOVEMENT/ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 5)
Check that the miter saw bevels easily by unlocking the
bevel lock lever and tilting the blade.
Note: At least one thread of the pivot bolt should stick out
past the hex lock nut (42).
If the movement is tight or there is looseness in the pivot,
do the following adjustment procedure:
Unlock the bevel lock lever.
■
Turn the hex lock nut with 19 mm socket.
■
Recheck the bevel movement and readjust if necessary.
■
MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. 18)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw
movement, read and follow the instructions below.
Before moving the saw, unplug electric cord. Lock the
■
miter and bevel knobs and lock the power head in the
lower position.
To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to
■
your body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can lift
with your legs, not your back. Lift by using the handhold
areas at each side of the bottom of the base, by the
carrying han-dle, or the handles on the front of base.
Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or the
■
trigger grip of the plastic handle. Carrying the tool by
the power cord could cause damage to the insulation or
the wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
Place the saw so other people cannot stand behind it.
■
Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there is
■
plenty of room for handling and properly supporting
the workpiece.
Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
■
does not rock.
Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
■
Place the saw in the desired location either on a work
bench or other recom-mended leg set. The base of the
saw has eight holes to mount the miter saw. Four smaller
holes for screws are labeled A. Four holes for bolts are
labeled B. If the saw is to be used in one location,
permanently fasten it to the work bench or leg set.
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat sur-face, the miter
saw table is 114.3 mm high.
PORTABLE APPLICATIONS
To mount the saw to a 19 mm piece of ply-wood, use 4,
6,35 mm (1/4") bolt holes or the 4 screw holes. The
mounting board can then be clamped down to prevent
it from tipping. Plywood mount also helps protect saw
from damage during the rough handling associated with
portable mitor saw usage.
WORK BENCH APPLICATIONS
Mount as specified in portable applica-tions. Check for
workpiece clearances to left and right of saw.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SAW
OPERATIONS
BEFORE EACH USE INSPECT YOUR SAW.
DISCONNECT THE MITER SAW.
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
unplug the saw, before changing the setup, changing the
blade or adjusting anything. Compare the direction of
rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the
blade. The blade teeth should always point downward at
the front of the saw. Check the blade screw and
coverplate screw for security.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Check for:
Proper alignment of moving parts,
■
■
Damaged electric cords,
Binding of moving parts,
■
Broken parts,
■
■
Stable mounting
Function of arm return spring and lower guard:
■
Push the arm all the way down, then let it rise up until
it stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it
closed fully. If it did not, follow the instructions in the
"Troubleshooting" section.
Smooth, solid movement of sliding assembly.
■
Other conditions that may affect the way the miter
■
saw works. If any part of this miter saw if missing,
bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts
don't work, turn the saw off and unplug it. Replace
damaged, missing,
Keep Guards In Place, in working order, and in
■
proper adjustment.
■
Maintain Tools With Care. Keep the miter saw clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade
while it's spinning.
Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrenches from tool
■
before turning it on.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM
JAMS, SLIPS OR THROWN PIECES
Use Only Recommended Accessories. The use of
■
improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
Choose the right 305 mm diameter blade for the saw
■
and material you plan to cut.
