Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. G, O)
Unlock the miter lock lever 6 , press the miter release button
it locks at the 0° miter position. Do not lock the miter lock lever. Place a square against the saw's
fence and blade, as shown in Figure O. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
To do so will cause an inaccurate measure ment.) If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular
to the fence, loosen the four screws 12 that hold the miter scale
lever 6 and the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with
the square. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at
this time.

Miter Pointer Adjustment (Fig. G)
Unlock the miter lock lever to move the miter arm to the zero position. With the miter lock
6
lever unlocked, allow the miter arm to snap into place as you rotate the miter arm to zero.
Observe the miter pointer and miter scale

loosen the miter pointer screw holding the pointer in place, reposition the pointer and tighten
the screw.
Miter Lock Adjustment (Fig. G, P)
The miter lock rod 50 should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be moved when the miter
lock lever 6 is locked (down). To adjust the miter lock, put the miter lock handle in the unlocked
(up) position. Using a 1/2" open end wrench, loosen the lock nut
Using a slotted screwdriver, tighten the miter lock rod by turning it clockwise. Turn the lock rod
until it is snug, then turn counterclockwise one turn. To ensure the miter lock is functioning
properly, re-lock the miter lock to a non-detented measurement on the miter scale – for example,
34º – and make sure the table will not rotate. Tighten lock nut.

Bevel Square to Table Adjustment (Fig. A, I, Q)
To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the down position with the lock down
pin. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a tooth. Loosen the
bevel lock knob 6 and ensure the arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Rotate the 0° bevel
adjustment screw 36 Fig. I) with the 1/2" blade wrench as necessary so that the blade is at 0°
