ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory
for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the
components might have been jarred out of alignment during
shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will
probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin
using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and
periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that the
saw is cutting accurately.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
 The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
 If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at your nearest
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT
 The compound miter saw should bevel easily by
loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, slightly tip the head
to the left then push the zero bevel stop button and tilt
the saw to the desired angle.
 If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have
saw repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.
45° BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 39.
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob and set the saw arm at 45°
bevel.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, slightly tip the head
to the left then push the zero bevel stop button and tilt
the saw to the desired angle.
 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
 If the blade is out of square, adjust by tightening or
loosening the bevel stop adjustment screw using the
Phillips head end of the blade wrench.
 Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table
alignent.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring
adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen
the indicators screws and reset them to zero. See Figures
