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.
