SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
In most cases the included table extensions
(workpiece supports) will be sufficient to support
longer workpieces. If these are not long enough, the
workpiece should be supported further out from the
saw. Additional support (A) may be used to make
the workpiece lay flat on the saw table. Use the
included work clamp or a C-clamp (B) to secure the
workpiece to the mitre saw table. See Figure 22.
Keep clamps away from the path of
the blade and blade guard assembly.
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Your compound mitre saw has been properly adjusted at the factory. Due to shipping or normal use, it may be necessary
to re-adjust some of the settings. Check the following adjustments periodically to assure proper accuracy and safe
operation.
Check for interference between the blade and the throat plate, before plugging the saw into the power
source.
ARM PIVOT
The arm of the saw should raise and lower completely and freely. In the lowered position and with the lock pin removed,
the arm should rise to the up position by itself. If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints,
it will need to be professionally repaired at an AUTHORIZED SHOPMASTER SERVICE CENTER. Please call Company's
Customer Care Center at 800-223-7278.
POSITIVE STOP SCREW
The position of the positive stop adjustment screw was set
at the factory and normally will not require readjustment.
If the blade is not square to the table, the positive stop
adjustment screw must be re-adjusted.
To adjust refer to Figure 23.
1. Unplug the saw
2. Using the Phillips end of the blade wrench, loosen
the positive stop adjustment screw (C) by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob (D) by turning it
counterclockwise.
4. Square the blade to the mitre table as described in the
section entitled, ALIGN THE BLADE TO THE TABLE,
found on page 12.
5. Re-tighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table
alignment.
6. The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel
scale and one on the mitre scale. After squaring
adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to
loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
NOTE: Use this procedure to check that the blade is square
to the table at 0° and 45° angles.
