ADJUSTMENTS
TO SET THE BLADE AT 0° AND 45°
See Figures 50 - 51.
The angle settings of your saw have been set at the factory
and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require set-
ting during assembly. After extensive use, it may need to
be checked.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the blade and remove the blade guard.
If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°):
 Loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.
 Place a combination square beside the blade on the left.
Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever and
retighten the adjustment bolt.
 Turn the bevel handle until the bevel indicator points to
zero. If the bevel handle is turned as far as possible and
doesn't indicate zero properly, you may need to adjust
the bevel indicator.
If the blade is not an exact 45°:
 Loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.
 Place a combination square beside the blade on the left.
Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever and
retighten the adjustment bolt.
 Turn the bevel handle until the bottom of the blade has
moved completely to the left side of the slot. Lock the
angle by pushing the bevel locking lever.
 If the blade is not an exact 45°, loosen the adjustment
bolt and the bevel locking lever.
 Adjust the bevel indicator to 45°.
TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE
See Figure 52.
You can set the miter gauge at 0° and plus or minus 45°
with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.
NOTE:
The miter gauge provides close accuracy in
angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are
recommended.
 Loosen knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter
gauge base past stop screws.
 Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin
with a 8 mm wrench.
 Place a combination square against the miter gauge rod
and the miter gauge base.
 If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod,
and tighten the knob.
 Adjust the 0° stop screw until it rests against the stop pin.
 Adjust the plus and minus 45° stop screws using a 45°
triangle and the steps above.
