Miter Angle
The sliding compound miter saw scale can be
easily read, showing miter angles from 0° to 45° to
the left, and 0° to 60° to the right. The miter saw
table has ten of the most common angle settings
with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°
and 60° right. These positive stops position the
blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
Follow the process below for quickest and most
accurate adjustments.
Referring to Figure 16:
1. Lift up on the quick-cam miter table lock (A) to
unlock the table.
2. Lift up on the positive stop locking lever (C) and
move the turntable with handle (B) to align the
indicator (D) to the desired degree
measurement.
3. Lock the table into position by pressing down
on the quick-cam miter table lock (A).
Miter Scale Indicator Adjustment
4. Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
5. Loosen the screw (E) that holds the indicator
with a screwdriver.
6. Adjust the indicator (D) to the 0° mark and
retighten screw.
Adjusting Fence Squareness
1. Loosen four fence locking screws (D, Fig. 18).
Note: two locking screws to each fence.
2. Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
3. Using a square (B, Fig. 17), lay the heel of the
square against the fence (C, Fig. 17) and the
ruler against the blade (A, Fig. 17).
4. Adjust the fence 90° to the blade and tighten
the four fence locking screws.
If the saw has not been used
recently, recheck blade squareness to the fence
and readjust if needed.
5. After fence has been aligned, using a scrap
piece of wood, make a cut at 90º then check
squareness on the piece. Readjust if
necessary.
