the table and lower the plate into its opening. The throat
plate includes four adjustment screws which raise or
lower it. When properly adjusted, the front of the throat
plate should be flush or slightly below the surface of the
table top, and the rear of the throat plate should be
flush or slightly above the table top. The center front
screw, when turned clockwise, will engage a cam under
the front lip of the table, locking the throat plate in
place. Rotate the screw counterclockwise 1/2 turn to
remove the throat plate.
CAUTION: THE THROAT
PLATE MUST BE IN PLACE AT ALL TIMES.
STEP 24. Adjust the bevel stops (Fig. 15). Using a
square, set the blade to exactly “0” degrees. If the
blade stops beveling before it gets to 0, back the stop
set screw up with the 5 mm allen wrench and then
proceed to “0” degrees. The set screw is located in the
left miter guide slot. With the blade set at 0, slowly turn
the zero stop screw in until you feel resistance. Bevel
the blade away from 0 a little then back to the stop. Re-
measure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as
necessary until the blade stops at 0 degrees. Set the 45
stop the same way. The set
screw for the 45˚ stop is located
in the right hand miter guide slot.
NOTE: For some special cuts,
the stops can be backed out and
the saw will bevel from -2
degrees to 47 degrees.
STEP 25. Adjust the bevel scale
(Fig. 16). Bevel the saw until it hits the zero bevel stop.
low profile fence face accessory or a wider homemade
fence face is used which is out of the adjustment range
of the pointer, the pointer can be removed completely,
turned 180 degrees, re-installed, and aligned with the “0”
line.
STEP 22. Install the guard and splitter assembly (Fig.
13). Raise the blade to its highest point. Loosen the
outer guard retaining nuts (A) enough so that the splitter
will fit between the two guard retaining plates (B). Install
the splitter (C) and ensure that it is aligned with the
blade. If not, the position is adjusted by moving the inner
guard clamp nuts (D) which changes the location where
the splitter mounts. Make sure the splitter is centered
and parallel to the blade by lining up the parts with a
straightedge. Also make sure there is some clearance
between the splitter and the blade and that the blade
spins freely. If the splitter is tilted relative to the blade,
the splitter plate can be bent until it lines up correctly.
IMPORTANT: THE GUARD SHOULD BE IN PLACE
FOR ALL POSSIBLE CUTS. When making non-through
cuts, the guard can be easily removed by slightly
loosening the outer guard nuts (A). The guard can easily
be replaced without having to readjust the inner nuts.
STEP 23. Install and adjust the throat plate (Fig. 14).
Align the throat plate as shown and insert the tabs on
the back of the throat plate into the holes at the back of

Remove the height crank lock knob and height crank.
Adjust the red pointer by loosening the screw where it
attaches to its shaft, move the pointer until it lines up
with the 0 line on the scale, and re-tighten the screw.
The pointer should be positioned just barely off of the
scale surface. Bevel the saw to the 45 degrees stop. If
the pointer doesn’t point to 45 degrees, loosen the two
screws which hold the scale to the saw front panel and
slide the scale up or down until the pointer lines up with
the 45 line. Re-tighten the scale screws. Replace the
height crank and lock knob.
STEP 26. Install the motor cover (Fig. 17). Remove the
two cover screws and washers from the top of the two
side legs with a small flat blade screwdriver. Snap the
two bottom tabs of the cover into the slots in the right
lower crossmember. Place the cover
in position and re-install the screws
and washers.
STEP 27. Level the saw (Fig. 18). Move
the saw to the location you want to
keep it. If the saw rocks on the floor,
the foot not touching the floor can be
lowered to compensate for the uneven
floor. Loosen the two screws that hold
the foot to the leg. Let the foot fall to
the floor surface. Re-tighten the
screws holding the foot to the leg.
If your saw will have a permanent location, we
recommend that the feet be bolted to the floor using the
holes provided.
STEP 28. Adjustment and use of miter gage (Fig. 19).
Your miter gauge features adjustable
stops at 90° and 45° left and right. To
adjust these stops, loosen the lock
nuts (A) and tighten or loosen the
three adjusting screws (B). Check the
gauge with a square against the
blade and tighten the three adjusting
screws. To set the miter gauge past
the 45 degree stops, flip up the stop
plate (C) and continue to the required
