NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the
illustrations. Never operate your saw without all guards
securely in place and in good operating condition.

n Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Place the other
leg of the square beside the throat plate in the miter
table. The edge of the square and the slot in the throat
plate in the miter table should be parallel as shown in
figure 20.

in the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 21
and 22, adjustments are needed.
