wARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 24, page 19.
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been factory adjusted to
assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making 0° cross cuts.
To check 0° bevel stop:
 Unplug the saw.
 Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
 Check the squareness of the saw blade plate to the base
of the saw using a combination square.
To adjust 0° bevel stop:
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen bevel lock knob.
 Loosen hex nut securing adjusting screw.
 Turn adjusting screw and adjust base until square with
saw blade.
 Tighten hex nut and bevel lock knob securely.
wARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock
knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.
CHECkING/ADJUSTING THE LASER
ALIGNMENT
See Figure 25 - 26, page 19.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
wARNING:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
 Unplug the saw.
 REMOVE the blade before adjusting the laser.
ADJUSTMENTS
 Clamp a straight edge to the straight side of a workpiece.
 Square the long edge of the saw base against the straight
edge.
 With a pencil, mark the workpiece in front of the far right
notch on the saw's base.
 Slide the saw along the straight edge and mark the notch
10 - 12 in. from the first mark. Draw a guideline to connect
the two marks.
 Slide the saw back to the starting position so that the
entire guideline is visible.
 Connect the saw to a power supply.
 Depress and hold the switch until the laser turns on.
NOTE: The laser will activate without the saw motor run-
ning.
 The laser beam should align with the notch in the saw
base and the guideline you drew on the workpiece.
 If the laser beam is out of adjustment, use a 1/8 in. flat
head screwdriver to turn the laser adjusting screw until
the beam aligns with the guideline.
 Slowly turn the screw counterclockwise to adjust the laser
to the left, or clockwise to adjust the laser to the right.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH LOCk LEVER
See Figure 27, page 19.
Over time, due to wear, the depth lock lever may move from
its original setting. If the lever prematurely contacts any part
of the saw during tightening and loosening, adjust the lever
by following these steps:
 Unplug the saw.
 Pull depth lock lever upward to release.
 Pull saw base down to the minimum depth of cut position,
then push the depth lock lever down to secure.
 Insert a flathead screwdriver into the space between the
lock nut and the E-ring. Remove the E-ring.
 Note the position of the lever on the nut. Slide the depth
lock lever off the lock nut.
 The lock nut has six flat sides. Rotate the depth lock lever
one "flat" counter clockwise around the nut. Then slide it
back into place.
 Push the E-ring back into the groove on the lock nut until
it snaps into place. Take care that the E-ring does not pop
off the lock nut.
 Loosen the depth lock lever and return the base to the
full depth of cut position and lock the depth setting by
pushing downward on the depth lock lever. The base
should be locked securely in position when locked and
be free to move when released.
