ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 21 - 23.
To square the blade at 0°:
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
Release the detent release button, enaging the positive
stop notch, then push the miter lock lever down to secure
the miter table.
Push the bevel stop pin inward.
Loosen bevel lock knob and tilt saw arm until it is seated
in the positive 0° bevel stop (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 21.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjustments
are needed.
Loosen the bevel lock knob.
Adjust 0° bevel stop screw to bring saw blade into align-
ment with the square. See 0° bevel Adjustment in the
Adjustments section.
Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table align-
ment.

bevel. Tighten bevel lock knob.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, pull the bevel stop
pin out and tilt the saw to the desired angle.
Using a combination square, check the blade-to-table
alignment as described earlier.

Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring ad-
justments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen
the indicators screws and reset them to zero. See Figures
