ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 24 - 26.

Unplug the saw.
 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 24.
 If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 25 - 26, adjustments
are needed.
 Loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter
fence to the miter table.
 Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is
parallel with the square.
 Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-to-
fence alignment.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have
been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicators
screws and reset them to zero.
