ADJUSTMENTS
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT
 The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening
the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw.
 If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have
saw repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.
ADJUSTING THE MITER LOCK
See Figures 53 - 54.
 Unplug the saw.
 Lock the saw arm in the down position.
 Locate the miter lock nut, miter lock screw and miter lock
shoe on the rear underside of the saw.
To adjust the clamping force of the miter lock:
 Lift the miter lock lever and press the miter detent button
to unlock the miter table.
 Rotate the miter table to an "unindexed" miter position
other than 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚, 45˚, 60˚, and 67.5˚.
 Push the miter lock lever down and attempt to move the
miter table. If the table moves easily when in the "locked"
position, adjust the miter lock screw.
 Place the miter saw on its side on your work surface to
access the underside of the miter table.
NOTE: This saw is heavy and can be difficult to maneuver.
Be sure you have enough room on your work surface and
can maintain good control of the saw.
 Using a 4 mm hex key, adjust the miter lock screw. Make
adjustments of one-quarter turn or less.
NOTE: Turning the miter lock screw clockwise will in-
crease the clamping force. Turning the miter lock screw
counterclockwise decreases the clamping force.
 After making the adjustment, test the clamping force.
NOTE: It should take considerable force to move the table
in the locked position.
To adjust miter table movement:
 Lift the miter lock lever, press the miter detent override
lever, and move the miter table left to right. If the miter
table does not move freely, adjust the miter lock nut.
 Using the 4 mm hex key, hold the miter lock screw sta-
tionary and use a 13 mm combination wrench to adjust
the nut holding the miter lock shoe.
NOTE: Turning the miter lock nut clockwise will move the
shoe closer to the miter saw base and make it harder to
move the miter table. Turning the miter lock nut counter-
clockwise will move the shoe farther away from the base
and make it easier to move the table.
 Adjust the miter lock nut until the shoe and miter saw
base are close but not in contact with each other.
 After making the adjustment, test the movement of the
miter table. The miter table should move freely left or right.
 Rotate the miter table to an "unindexed" miter position
other than 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚, 45˚, 60˚, and 67.5˚ and push
the miter lock lever down. Test the clamping force.
