ADJUSTING THE POINTER
To transport the saw, always lock the cuttinghead in the down
position. Lower the cuttinghead (A) Fig.17, and push the
cuttinghead lock knob (B) into the hole in the cutting arm until it
locks the cuttinghead.
IMPORTANT: Carrying the machine by the switch handle will
cause misalignment. Always lift the machine by the base or
by the carrying handle (See Fig. 20).
Your miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 90° cut to 47° right and left. Turn the lock handle (A) Fig. 13 counter-clockwise
one or two turns, depress the index lever (B), and move the control arm to the desired angle. Tighten the lock handle (A).
The miter saw is equipped with positive stops at the 0°, 22.5°, 31.62°, and 45° right and left positions. Loosen the lock handle (A)
Fig. 14 and move the control arm until the bottom of the index lever (B) engages into one of the positive stops, four of which are
shown at (C). Tighten the lock handle (A). To disengage the positive stop, depress the index lever (B).
A triangle indicator (D) Fig. 15 is provided on the miter scale at the 31.62° right and left miter positions for cutting crown moulding.
(Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this manual).
IMPORTANT: Always tighten the lock handle (A) Fig. 14 before cutting.
POINTER AND SCALE
The pointer (E) Fig. 15 indicates the angle of cut. Each line on the scale (F)
represents 1 degree. When you move the pointer from one line to the next on the
scale, you change the angle of cut by 1 degree.

ADJUSTING THE SLIDING FIT BETWEEN THE
MOVABLE TABLE AND THE BASE
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER
SOURCE .
To adjust the sliding fit between the movable table and the base, turn the
nut (A) Fig. 14A clockwise to increase the sliding fit (opposite to decrease
the fit). This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the rotating
movement of the table, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.
