To cut wide boards up to 312 mm, the slide securing
knob must be loosened to allow the cutting head slide
freely. (Fig. 17)
12. Miter scale adjustment
○ Down the head and insert the locking pin.
Unlock the miter lock handle and swing the turntable
until the positive stop locks 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 in
Fig. 18 (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square.
To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.)
If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the
fence, loosen the 6 mm machine screws (4 pcs.) that
hold the miter scale and move the miter lock handle
and the scale left or right until the blade is
perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the
square.
Retighten the 6 mm machine screws (4 pcs.).
(Fig. 18) Pay no attention to the reading of the
indicator (for miter scale) at this time.

○ Indicator (for miter scale) adjustment
Unlock the miter lock handle to move the turntable to
the 0° position. With the miter lock handle unlocked,
allow the positive stop to snap into place as you rotate
the turntable to 0°.
Observe the indicator (for miter scale) and miter scale
as shown in Fig. 18. If the indicator (for miter scale)
does not indicate exactly 0° loosen the 4 mm screw
holding the indicator (for miter scale). In place
reposition the indicator (for miter scale) and tighten
the 4 mm screw.
13. Miter angle adjustment
The slide compound miter saw scale can be easily
read, showing miter angles from 0° to 45° to the left
and right. The miter saw table has nine of the most
common angle setttings with positive stops at 0°, 15°,
22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position
the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
Follow the process below for quickest and most
accurate adjustments. (Fig. 19)
