Adjustments for Mitre Saw Mode
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due to shipping and
handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw. Once
made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Fence (Fig. H1–H3)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
79
and depress the mitre latch
(Fig. H1).
2. Swing the rotating table until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position. Do not tighten
the knob.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
4. Place a square
82
against the left side
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws
83
(Fig. H3) and move the scale/rotating table assembly left or right
until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square (Fig. H2).
2. Retighten the screws
83
(Fig. H3). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre pointer at
this point.
Adjusting the Mitre Pointer (Fig. H1, H4)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
79
and depress the mitre latch
(Fig. H1).
2. With the mitre knob loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as you rotate the mitre
arm past zero.
3. Observe the pointer
84
and mitre scale
exactly zero, loosen the screw
, move the pointer to read 0° and tighten the screw.

4. Place a set square
82
on the table and up against the blade
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
17
(Fig. I1) and turn the vertical position adjustment stop
screw
87
(Fig. I3) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with the

does not indicate zero on the bevel scale
that secures the pointer and move the pointer as necessary (Fig. I3).
Adjusting the Fence (Fig. J)
