SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 25 - 27.
Remove the battery.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
Release the detent release lever, engaging the positive
stop notch, then tighten the miter lock knob to secure
the miter table.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 25.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 26 and 27, adjustments
are needed.
Loosen bevel lock knob.
Adjust positive stop adjustment screw to bring saw blade
into alignment with the square. See Positive Stop Adjust-
ment in the Adjustment section.

ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figures 23 - 24.
