and 45° to the table. Refer to the section of this manual titled
"ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° BEVEL STOPS." The bevel angle of the
cuttinghead is determined by the position of the pointer (C) Fig.18 on
the scale (D).
A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale at the 33.86° bevel
angle for cutting crown molding. Refer to the "CUTTING CROWN
MOLDING" section of this manual.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE
The sliding fence (A) Fig. 18A provides support for extra large
workpieces used with your saw. Set it as close as possible to the
saw blade. When miter cutting (blade 90° to the table and at an
angle to the right or left), set the fence all the way toward the blade
(Fig. 18B). When bevel cutting, however (blade tilted at an angle to
the table), move the fence (A) far enough away from the blade to
allow for proper clearance. To reposition the fence, loosen the lock
handle (B), and slide the fence (A) to the desired location. Tighten
the lock handle (B).
REAR SUPPORT/CARRYING HANDLE
A rear support bar (A) Fig. 19 is provided to prevent the machine from
tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead returns to the up position. For
maximum support, pull the bar (A) out as far as possible.
You can also use the support bar (A) Fig. 20 to carry the machine.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE PARALLEL TO THE TABLE SLOT
WARNING:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE!
1. Lower the cutting arm. The saw blade (A) Fig. 21 should be
parallel to the left edge (B) of the table opening.
2. To adjust, loosen the three bolts (C) Fig. 21 and move the cutting
arm until the blade is parallel with the left edge (B) of the table
opening and centered in the slot. Tighten the three bolts (C).
FENCE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE!
In order that the saw can bevel to a full 47 degrees left, the left side of
the fence can be adjusted to the left to provide clearance. To adjust
the fence, loosen the plastic knob shown in Figure 22 and slide the
fence to the left. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check for
clearance. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to
provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up
& down movement. Tighten knob securely. When the bevel
operations are complete, don't forget to relocate the fence to the right.
NOTE: The guide groove in the left side fence can become clogged
with sawdust. If you notice that it is becoming clogged, use a stick or
some low pressure air to clear the guide groove.
ADJUSTING THE DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF THE SAW BLADE
WARNING:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE!
1. You can limit the downward travel of the saw blade to prevent it
from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. Make this
adjustment by loosening the locknut (A) Fig. 23 and turning the
adjusting screw (B) in or out.
2. Lower the blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade by hand to
make certain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces.
3. Tighten the locknut (A)
ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° BEVEL STOPS
WARNING:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE!
1. Loosen the bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 18 and move the cutting
arm (B) Fig. 19 all the way to the right. Tighten the bevel lock
handle.
2. Place one end of a square (A) Fig. 24 on the table and the other
end against the blade. Check to see if the blade is 90° to the
table (Fig. 24).
