SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE (FIG 13, 14)

WARNING: Be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power

source before performing any work on the tool. Failure to unplug the saw may result in

accidental start-up, causing possible serious personal injury.

1. Unplug the miter saw.

2. Put the slide in the most backward position. Lock the slide by

tightening the slide locking knob securely.

3. Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter table and move

0° miter stop position.

(NOTE: Check if the red miter pointer (1) points to 0° on

the miter scale. If not, loosen the miter pointer screw, adjust

the pointer to point accurately to 0° scale mark, tighten the

pointer screw.)

4. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

5. Pull the saw head down completely and move the arm release

knob into the transport position, locking the blade and arm in

the down position.

6. Lay a small framing square (3) or tri-square on the miter table.

Place one leg of the square against the fence (2) and slide the

other leg of the square against a ﬂat part of the saw blade. (Be

sure the square contacts the ﬂat part of the saw blade and not

the blade teeth.)

7. Check that the edge of the square and the saw blade are

parallel along the entire length of the square’s edge.

8. If the front or back portion of the blade angles away from the

square's edge, adjusting the fence is necessary.

9. Using the 6mm Allen wrench provided, loosen the four hex

bolts (4) that secure the fence to the saw’s stationary table.

10. While holding one leg of the square against the fence, slowly

move the ﬁxed fence (2) to the left or right until the saw blade

is parallel with the square's other leg.

11. Carefully tighten the four hex bolts and recheck the blade

alignment as in steps 6 and 7.

unplug the saw may result in accidental start-up,

causing possible serious personal injury.

To Adjust the 0° Bevel Stop

1. Unplug the miter saw.

2. Put the slide in the most backward position. Lock the slide by

tightening the slide locking knob securely.

3. Align the miter table to 0° and lock the saw head down in the

transport position.

4. Loosen the bevel lock handle (5) at the rear of the saw, raise

the bevel 0° stop block (2) up, set the saw arm at 0° bevel

stop (blade 90° to the miter table).

5. Place a combination square on the miter table and the ﬂat

part of the saw blade (making sure the square is not touching

any blade teeth).
