ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
MITRE SCALE (FIG. K)
The mitre scale assists the user in setting the desired mitre
angles from 45° left to 45° right. The mitre saw table has nine
of the most common angle setttings with positive stops at 0°,
15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position the
blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
To Adjust the Angle:
1. Unlock the mitre table by turning the mitre handle (1)
counterclockwise.
2. Press down the positive stop locking lever (2) while holding
the mitre handle, and rotate the table left or right to the
desired angle.
3. Release positive stop locking lever. Tighten mitre handle.
4. If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops,
release the positive stop locking lever, making sure the
lever snaps into position, and then secure by tightening the
mitre handle.
5. If the mitre angle desired is not one of the nine positive
stops, simply lock the mitre table into position by turning
the mitre handle in the clockwise direction.
To Adjust the Indicator:
(1) Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0 ° mark on the mitre scale
(4) to position the mitre table.
(2) Release positive stop locking lever (2). Tighten mitre
handle.

must be adjusted.
1. Lower the blade as far as possible.
2. Loosen the locknut (3).
3. Turn the adjustment bolt (4) out (counterclockwise) to
decrease the cutting depth or in (clockwise) to increase
