ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Before performing any adjust-
ment, make sure the tool is unplugged from
the power supply. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted
at the factory for making very accurate cuts.
However, some of the components might have
been jarred out of alignment during shipping.
Also, over a period of time, readjustment will
probably become necessary due to wear. After
unpacking the saw, check the following adjust-
ments before you begin using saw. Make any
readjustments that are necessary and periodi-
cally check the parts alignment to make sure
that the saw is cutting accurately.
CAUTION: Do not start the compound mi-
ter saw without checking for interference be-
tween the blade and the throat plate. Damage
could result to the blade if it strikes the throat
plate during operation of the saw.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the
factory and normally do not require readjust-
ment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
• The saw arm should rise completely to the up
position by itself.
• If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if
there is play in the pivot joints, have saw re-
paired by at your nearest authorized service
center.
BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
• The compound miter saw should bevel easily
by loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting
the saw arm to the left.
• If movement is tight or if there is play in the
pivot, have saw repaired by at your nearest
authorized service center.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade's downward
travel. It allows the blade to go below the
miter table enough to maintain full cutting
capacities. The depth stop positions the blade
1/4 in. from the miter table support.
E N G L I S H •
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside
the miter table.
The depth stop is fac-
tory set to provide
maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in.
blade provided with
the saw. Therefore,
the saw with blade
provided should never
need adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade
has been reduced due to sharpening, it may
be necessary to adjust the depth stop to pro-
vide maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a
new blade is installed, it is necessary to check
the clearance of the blade to the miter table
support before starting the saw. Make adjust-
ments if needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
• Unplug your saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
• To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench
or adjustable wrench and loosen the hex nut at
the rear of the miter saw arm.
• Use a 5 mm hex key wrench to adjust the
depth stop adjustment screw. The saw blade is
lowered by turning the screw counter-clockwise
and raised by turning the screw clockwise.
• Lower the blade into the miter table. Check
blade clearance and maximum cutting distance
(distance from fence where blade enters) to
front of miter table slot.
• Readjust if necessary.
• Tighten the hex nut with a 10 mm wrench or
adjustable wrench.
• To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw
from turning while tightening the hex nut,
carefully hold it with the hex key wrench while
tightening the hex nut.
