LOCKING CUTTINGHEAD
IN THE DOWN POSITION
When transporting the miter saw, the cuttinghead
should always be locked in the down position. This can
be accomplished by lowering the cuttinghead (A) Fig.
16, and pushing pin (B) until other end of pin (B) engages
with hole in cutting arm. IMPORTANT: NEVER CARRY
THE MITER SAW BY THE SWITCH HANDLE OR
TABLE CONTROL HANDLE AS THIS MAY CAUSE
MISALIGNMENT. ALWAYS LIFT THE MACHINE BY
THE BASE OR CARRYING HANDLE.
REAR SUPPORT/
CARRYING HANDLE
A rear support bar (A) Fig. 17, is provided to prevent the
miter saw from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead
is returned to the up position after a cut has been made.
For maximum support the bar (A) should be pulled out
as far as possible.
The support bar (A) also acts as a carrying handle, as
shown in Fig. 18, when transporting the saw.
ADJUSTING DOWNWARD
TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
The downward travel of the saw blade can be limited to
prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal sur-
faces of the machine.
Before adjusting downward travel, DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE and lower the
blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade by hand to
make certain the teeth do not contact any metal sur-
faces.This adjustment is made by loosening lock nut (A)
Fig. 19, and turning the adjusting screw (B) in or out until
the blade lowers to the desired position. Then tighten
lock nut (A).
