Bevel Lock Lever Adjustment
With the blade set at an “unindexed” bevel
position (other than 0°, 22.5°, 33-7/8°, 45°)
and the bevel lock lever set in the “locked”
position the locking action should feel tight
and secure.
Considerable effort should be required to
move the blade. While it is always possi-
ble to force the blade to move, it should
resist moving when a reasonable amount
of force is applied.
To check, follow these steps:
1. Release the bevel lock lever and posi-
tion the blade at an “unindexed” posi-
tion. Lock the bevel lock lever.
2. Try and bevel the blade. If the blade
moves easily:
a. Release the bevel lock lever.
b. Locate the two 12mm locking jam
nuts behind the bevel lock lever.
c. Loosen the top locking jam nut.
d. To tighten the bevel lock lever mecha-
nism turn the bottom jam nut clockwise.
To loosen the lock lever mechanism turn
the bottom jam nut counterclockwise.
e. Lock the bevel lock lever and try mov-
ing the blade. Readjust if necessary.
NOTE: When unlocked the bevel
mechanism should freely pivot. A
grating sound indicates the bevel
mechanism needs to be loosened
slightly.
Bevel Pivot Movement/Adjustment
Check that the miter saw bevels easily by
unlocking the bevel lock lever and tilting
the blade. NOTE: At least one thread of
the pivot bolt should stick out past the hex
lock nut.
If the movement is tight or there is loose-
ness in the pivot, do the following adjust-
ment procedure:
a. Unlock the bevel lock lever.
b. Turn the hex lock nut with 3/4" or
19mm socket.
Recheck the bevel movement and read-
just if necessary.
