With patience and practice you'll be able to place the laser line in the ideal position for your style of blade to cut
line alignment.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (FIG 11)
WARNING:
Accidental saw start-up could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Your miter saw should come adjusted properly for depth of cut while using the factory-installed blade
for normal operation.
The downward travel or depth of cut, of the saw blade can be controlled to prevent contact with the metal
surfaces of the miter saw, to insure the blade completely cuts through the workpiece, and permit depth of cut
settings for special operations.
:
NOTE
This is factory set and usually does not require adjusting.
(This saw may not come with the necessary tools for the following
procedure.)
To Achieve the Maximum Cutting Depth
Depth Stop Plate (2) to a upward position. It disables the cutting
depth adjusting control and maximizes the cutting depth for
regular cutting-through operations.
To Adjust Cutting Depth
:
NOTE
This is useful for performing dado cuts or to create lap joints.
1. Locate the Depth Control Assembly (1+2) on the right side of the saw arm.
2. If the saw arm is locked in the down position, release it by pulling the saw arm lock pin out.
3. Tilt the Cutting Depth Stop Plate (2) to the horizontal position. See FIG 11.
4. Turn the Depth Control Knob (1). Clockwise will decrease the amount of travel and depth of cut, counter-
clockwise will increase the amount of travel and depth of cut.
5. Lower the saw arm completely. The Depth Control Knob (1) will contact the Cutting Depth Stop Plate (2).
Check if it is the cutting depth desired. If not, repeat step 4.
You will need to experiment and make several test cuts until you determine the proper depth of cut. We suggest
you practice on scrap wood with the same thickness dimensions before you start cutting your project wood.
SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE (FIG 12, 13)
WARNING:
switched off and unplugged from the power source
before performing any work on the tool. Failure to
unplug the saw may result in accidental start-up,
causing possible serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the miter saw.
2. Put the slide in the most backward position. Lock the slide by
tightening the slide locking knob securely.
3. Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter table and move
0° miter stop position.
(NOTE:
Check if the red miter pointer (1) points to 0° on
the miter scale. If not, loosen the miter pointer screw, adjust
the pointer to point accurately to 0° scale mark, tighten the
pointer screw.)
4. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
5. Pull the saw head down completely and lock the blade and
arm in the down position.
6. Lay a small framing square (3) or tri-square on the miter table.
Place one leg of the square against the fence (2) and slide the other leg of the square against a flat part of the
saw blade. (Be sure the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade and not the blade teeth.)
