Miter Pointer Adjustment (Fig. A)
Unlock the miter lock handle
5
to move the miter arm to the zero position. With the miter lock
handle unlocked, allow the miter latch to snap into place as you rotate the miter arm to zero.
Observe the miter pointer
30
and miter scale
indicate exactly zero, loosen the miter pointer screw
the pointer and tighten the screw.
Bevel Square to Table (Fig. A, H, I)
To align the blade square to the table
16
, lock the arm in the down position with the lock down
pin
17
. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a tooth. Loosen
the bevel lock knob
11
and ensure the arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Rotate the 0° bevel
adjustment screw
41
with the 1/2" blade wrench as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to
the table.

Bevel Pointer (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointer
does not indicate zero, loosen the screw
42
move the pointer as necessary. Ensure the 0° bevel is correct and the bevel pointers are set before
adjusting any other bevel angle screws.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 45° Left or Right (Fig. A, I)
To adjust the right 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock knob
override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer does not indicate
exactly 45°, turn the left 45° bevel adjustment screw
bevel pointer
42
indicates 45°.
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the head to the left. If the
bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45° bevel adjustment screw until the
bevel pointer reads 45°.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 33.9°)
nOTE: Adjust the bevel angles only after performing the 0° bevel angle and bevel
pointer adjustment.
•
To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl
knob
11
and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°,
turn the crown adjustment screw
45
contacting the pawl with a 7/16" wrench until the
bevel pointer reads 22.5°.

To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl. Loosen the bevel lock

Fence Adjustment (Fig. A)
In order that the saw can bevel to many bevel positions, one of the fences may have to be
adjusted to provide clearance. To adjust each fence, loosen the fence adjustment knob
and slide the fence outward. 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 max imum workpiece support,
without interfering with arm up and down movement. Tighten the fence adjustment knob
securely. When the bevel operations are complete, don't forget to relocate the fence.
For certain cuts, it may be desirable to bring the fences closer to the blade. To use this feature,
back the fence adjustment knobs out two turns and move the fences closer to the blade past the
normal limit, then tighten the fence adjustment knobs to keep the fences in this location. When
using this feature, make a dry cut first to ensure the blade does not contact the fences.
nOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. If you notice that they are
becoming clogged, use a brush or some low pressure air to clear the guide grooves.
Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. A, Z)
CAUTION: Pinch Hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep thumb underneath the handle
when pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move up as the handle is pulled down
which could cause pinching.
The lower guard
4
on your saw has been designed to automatically uncover the blade when the
arm is brought down and to cover the blade when the arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the
saw. NEVER RAISE THE LOWER GUARD MANUALLY UN LESS THE BLADE IS STOPPED.
nOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require that you manually raise the guard. Refer
to Cutting large Material under Special Cuts.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers
dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be
worn at all times when viewing through the louvers.
Kerf Plate Adjustment (Fig. A)
To adjust the kerf plates
25
, loosen the screws holding the kerf plates in place. Adjust so that the
kerf plates are as close as possible without interfering with the blade's movement.
If a zero kerf width is desired, adjust the kerf plates as close to each other as possible. They can
now be cut slowly with the saw blade to give the smallest gap possible between the blade and
the kerf plates.
Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. A)
Periodically check the rails
23
for any play or clearance. The right rail can be adjusted with the
rail set screw
31
shown in Figure A. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm hex wrench and rotate the
rail set screw clockwise gradually while sliding the saw head back and forth. Reduce play while
maintaining minimum slide force.
Miter Lock Adjustment (Fig. A, J)
The miter lock rod
should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be moved when the
47
miter lock handle
is locked (down). To adjust the miter lock, put the miter lock handle in the
5
unlocked (up) position. Using a 1/2" open end wrench, loosen the lock
rod. Using a slotted screwdriver, tighten the miter lock rod by turning it clockwise. Turn the lock
rod until it is snug, then turn counterclockwise one turn. To ensure the miter lock is functioning
properly, re-lock the miter lock to a non-detented measurement on the miter scale – for example,
34º – and make sure the table will not rotate. Tighten lock nut.

Controls
Your compound miter saw has several main controls, which will be discussed briefly here. For
more information on these controls, see the respective sections later in the manual.
