4. Install the blade screw
and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with the
blade wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
nOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88 mm) diameter blade hole, the blade
60
adapter
will not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.
5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket
58
screw
to hold bracket in place.
WARNING:
The guard bracket must be returned to its original position and the screw
•
tightened before activating the saw.
Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spinning saw blade resulting
•
in damage to the saw and severe personal injury.
Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. A, G)
5
Unlock the miter lock handle
and swing the miter arm until the miter latch button
it at the 0° miter position. Do not lock the miter lock handle. Place a square against the saw's
fence and blade, as shown. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do
so will cause an inaccurate measure ment.) If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the
fence
10
, loosen the four miter scale screws
lock handle and the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured
with the square. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer
at this time.

Miter Pointer Adjustment (Fig. A)
5
Unlock the miter lock handle
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.
30
Observe the miter pointer
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
42
does not indicate zero, loosen the screw
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
to 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
until the bevel pointer 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
42
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
and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°,
turn the crown adjustment screw
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
knob and pull the 0° bevel stop to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the
right, if the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment screw
contacting the pawl with a 7/16" wrench until the bevel pointer indicates exactly 22.5°.
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.
4
The lower guard
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.
