in damage to the saw and severe personal injury.
Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. A, G)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock miter lock knob
swing the miter arm until the miter detent locks it at the 0˚ miter position. Do not lock miter lock
knob. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the base fence
scale screws 8 that hold the miter scale 7
left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the square. Retighten
the three screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this point.
