ALIGN THE BLADE TO THE TABLE
Refer to Figure 11.
1. Unplug the saw
2. Lower the saw arm all the way down to the transport
position and engage the lock pin to hold it in place.
3. Rotate the miter lock handle (A). Position the table so
that the miter scale indicator ( B) reads 0°.
4. Rotate the miter lock handle to the locked position so
that the table will not move.
5. Loosen bevel lock knob (D) and adjust the angle of
saw arm so that the bevel scale indicator (C) reads
0°. This positions the blade at 90° to the table.
6. Securely tighten bevel lock knob.
Refer to Figure 12.
7. Place a combination square (E) against the table and
the face of the saw blade (F).
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of
the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-
table alignment at several points.
9. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in Figure 12.
10. If the top or bottom of the blade face is not flush with
the square, refer to Figure 13 below and perform the
following steps.
11. Loosen bevel lock knob (G).
12. Adjust positive stop adjustment screw (not shown) to
bring saw blade into alignment with the square. See
"Positive Stop Screw" in the Adjustment section.
13. Re-tighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-blade
alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check
alignment of the blade to the miter table at both 0° and
45° angles.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments
have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero.
