See Figures 17-20.

Unplug your saw.

^ WARNING:

Failure to unplug 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.

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.
