ASSEMBLY
REMOVING/REPLACING THE THROAT PLATE
See Figure 15.
WARNING:
The throat plate must be below the miter table. If the
throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece can
catch on the uneven edges resulting in binding which
could result in serious personal injury.
Never operate the saw without a throat plate installed.
To remove/replace:
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the screws securing the throat plate.
 Lift the throat plate from the saw.
 To reinstall the throat plate, align the holes in the throat
plate with the holes in the saw base.
 Retighten the screws, being careful not to overtighten
which can cause the throat plate to bow or bend.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 16 - 21.
 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 knob approximately one-half turn
and press the detent release button.
 Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
 Release the detent release button, engaging the positive
stop notch, then tighten the miter lock knob to secure the
miter table.
 Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
 Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the
square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square
against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
 The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 16.
 If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 17 - 18, adjustments
are needed.
