3. Loosen the miter lock knob (7). Rotate the miter table and move pointer to the 0° position. (FIG 9)
4. Tighten the miter lock knob securely.
5. Pull the saw head down completely and move the arm release knob (24) into the transport position, locking the blade and arm in the down position.
6. Lay a small framing square or tri-square on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence and slide the other leg of the square
against a flat part of the saw blade. (Be sure the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade and not the blade teeth.)
7. Check that the edge of the square and the saw blade are parallel along the entire length of the square's edge.
8. If the front or back portion of the blade angles away from the square's edge, adjusting the fence is necessary.
9. Using the allen wrench provided, loosen the four hex bolts (a) that secure the fence to the saw's stationary table. (FIG 9)
10. While holding one leg of the square against the fence, slowly move the fence to the left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square's other
leg.
11. Carefully tighten the four hex bolts and recheck the blade alignment as in steps 6 and 7

a
0° AND 45° BEVEL STOP ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: This is factory set and usually does not require adjusting. (This saw may not come with the necessary tools for
the following procedure.)
WArning:
Be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power source before performing any
work on the tool. Failure to unplug the saw may result in accidental start-up, causing possible serious personal injury.
To adjust the 0° bevel stop
1. Unplug the miter saw.
2. Put the slide in the most backward position. Lock the slide by tightening the slide locking knob securely.
3. Align the miter table to 0° and lock the saw head down in the transport position.
4. Loosen the bevel lock handle at the rear of the saw with the saw arm at 0° bevel (blade 90° to the miter table).
5. Place a combination square on the miter table and the flat part of the saw blade (making sure the square is not touching any blade teeth).
6. Slowly rotate the blade by hand, checking the square's alignment with the blade at several points. The edge of the square and blade should be
parallel; however, if the top or bottom of the blade angles away from the square's edge, an adjustment is needed.
7. Locate the 0° bevel stop adjustment bolt (b) on the left side of bevel knuckle. (FIG 10 )
8. Use Allen wrench provided to adjust the 0° bevel stop adjustment bolt (b) and so that the blade is in alignment with the square.
9. If necessary, loosen the bevel angle indicator pointer and adjust it to point accurately to the 0° line, then retighten the screw.
To adjust the 45 ° bevel stop. Follow the directions for adjusting the 0° bevel stop, except position the saw arm at a 45° bevel.
The 45° bevel stop adjustment bolt (c) is located on the right side of bevel knuckle (FIG 11)
LASER ALIGNMENT
WArning:
Laser light – do not stare into the beam, aperture, or into a reflection from a mirror-like surface.
WArning:
Avoid exposure – laser light is emitted from the rear guard aperture. Use of controls or adjustments,
or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
WArning:
DO not disassemble the laser module.
WArning:
USE of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WArning:
BE sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power source before performing any
work on the tool. Failure to unplug the saw may result in accidental start-up, causing possible serious personal injury.
The laser alignment was made at the factory and is set for the center of the Blade or Draw line. Adjustment
may be required prior to initial use due to the effects of shipping and handling. you also have the ability to
adjust the line projected by the laser to your liking. you may wish for the laser to be to right or left of the
blade, or straight on a drawn cut line. Where you ultimately decide to align the laser in relation to the saw
blade's cutting path will determine how you align the cut line.
On each side of the laser are 2 Phillips head screws (d) which, when loosened, allow movement to the left and right. The screw (e) on the laser's stem
area also allows left/right movement, but more importantly will affect the straightness of the laser line. Beware that small adjustments can yield dramatic
