ADJUSTMENTS
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
 The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
 If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at the nearest
authorized service center.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade’s downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/4 in. from the miter table support.
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in. blade provided with the saw. Therefore,
the saw with blade provided should never need adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been
reduced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to
adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting
capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed, it is
necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the
miter table support before starting the saw. Make adjust-
ments if needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 42.

Unplug the saw.
 To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench and loosen
the hex nut located on the top of the upper saw arm.
 Use a 5 mm hex key wrench to adjust the depth stop
adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the screw counterclockwise and raised by turning the
screw clockwise.
 Lower the blade into the miter table. Check blade clearance
and maximum cutting distance (distance from fence where
blade enters) to front of miter table slot.
 Readjust if necessary.
 Tighten the hex nut with a 10 mm wrench or adjustable
wrench.
 To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turning
while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it with the hex
key wrench while tightening the hex nut.

POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 42.
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
To adjust:

Unplug the saw.
 Using two wrenches (one on the lock nut and one for
the positive stop adjustment screw), loosen the lock nut
securing the positive stop adjustment screw.
 Loosen the bevel lock lever by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
 Retighten bevel lock lever. Next, retighten lock nut
securing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck
blade-to-table alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0°
and 45° angles.
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 indicator
screws and reset them to zero.
