SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 27 - 29.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is
positioned at 0°.
Release the detent release lever, engaging the positive
stop notch, then tighten the miter lock knob to secure
the miter table.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 27.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 28 and 29, adjustments
are needed.
Loosen bevel lock knob.

Adjustment in the Adjustment section.
Tighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table
alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0°
and 45° angles.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring
adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen
the indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figures
25 - 26.
