SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 23 – 26.
■ Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from your saw
could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
■ Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage
the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport
position.
■ Lift the miter table clamp.
■ Rotate the miter table until the pointer is posi-
tioned at 0°.
■ Push the miter table clamp back down.
■ Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place
one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the
other leg of the square against the flat part of saw
blade.
Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat
part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
