SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE
FENCE

See Figures 17 - 20.

Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.

Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.

Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter
table until the pointer on the control arm is positioned
at 0

°

.

Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the
miter lock handle.

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.

The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 17.

If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 18 and 19, adjust-
ments are needed.

Using the 8 mm hex key (allen wrench) provided, loosen
the socket head screws that secure the mounting
bracket to the miter table.

See Figure 20.

Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the saw
blade is parallel with the square.

Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-
to-fence alignment.
