handle, push the mitre latch button and set the mitre angle desired on the
17
mitre scale
. Push down on the mitre lock handle to lock the mitre angle.
Bevel Lock Knob (Fig. A2)
The bevel lock allows you to bevel the saw 49° left or right. To adjust the
bevel setting, turn the bevel lock knob
bevels easily to the left or to the right once the 0° bevel override knob is
pulled. To tighten, turn the bevel lock knob clockwise.
0° Bevel Override (Fig. A2)
32
The 0° bevel stop override
allows you to bevel the saw to the right past
the 0° mark.
When engaged, the saw will automatically stop at 0° when brought up
from the left. To temporarily move past 0° to the right, pull the bevel stop
32
override
. Once it is released, the override will be reengaged. The bevel
stop override can be locked out by twisting the knob 180°.
When at 0°, the override locks in place. To operate the override, bevel the
saw slightly to the left.
45° Bevel Stop Override (Fig. I)
There are two bevel stop override levers, one on each side of the saw.
To bevel the saw, left or right, past 45°, push the 45° bevel override
52
lever
rearward. When in the rearward position, the saw can bevel past
these stops. When the 45° stops are needed, pull the 45° bevel override
lever forward.
Crown Bevel Pawls (Fig. I)
When cutting crown molding laying flat, your saw is equipped to accurately
and rapidly set a crown stop, left or right (refer to Instructions for Cutting
Crown Molding Laying Flat and Using the Compound Features)
The crown bevel pawl

can be rotated to contact the crown
adjustment screw.
To reverse the crown bevel pawl, remove the retaining screw, the 22.5°
53
bevel pawl
and the 30° crown bevel pawl

Adjustment
Your mitre saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of
manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other
reason is required, follow the instructions below to adjust your saw. Once
made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Mitre Scale Adjustment (Fig. H, K)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
mitre latch button
mitre lock handle.
2. Place a square against the saw's fence and blade, as shown. (Do not
touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an
inaccurate measure ment.)
3. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the
48
four screws
handle and the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the
fence, as measured with the square.
4. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
46
pointer
at this time.
Mitre Pointer Adjustment (Fig. H)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
zero position.
2. With the mitre lock handle unlocked, allow the mitre latch to snap into
place as you rotate the mitre arm to zero.
3. Observe the mitre pointer
If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the mitre pointer
47
screw
holding the pointer in place, reposition the pointer and
tighten the screw.
Bevel Square to Table Adjustment
(Fig. A1, A2, I, L)
1. To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the down position
with the lock down pin
2. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a
tooth (Fig. L).
