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 fac-
tory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the
components might have been jarred out of alignment dur-
ing 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 loosen-
ing the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the left.
If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have
saw repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.
TO ADJUST THE DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in. blade provided with the saw. Therefore,
the saw with blade provided should never need adjustments.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL STOP
See Figure 34.
NOTE: This procedure can be used to check blade squareness
of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0° and 45° angles.
These adjustments were made at the factory and normally
do not require readjustment.
To adjust:
Unplug the saw.
Using a wrench, loosen the lock nut securing bevel stop
adjustment screw.
Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob coun-
terclockwise.
Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table align-
ment.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have
been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator
screws and reset them to zero.
