NOTE: Your miter saw is fully ande ad accurately adjusted at the factory at the time
of manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is
required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow
these directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade, as shown. (Do not touch the tips
of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measure ment.)
Loosen the miter lock handle and swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks it at
the 0 miter position. Do not tighten the lock handle. If the saw blade is not exactly
perpendicular to the fence, loosen the four screws that hold the miter scale to the base
and move the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured
with the square. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter
pointer at this time.
