ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL LOCK LEVER
See Figures 25 - 26.
Prior to squaring the saw blade to the miter table, check
and align the bevel lock lever. The blade must be set at an
“unindexed” bevel position other than 0
°
, 22.5
°
, 33.9
°
, and
45
°
to test. In the “locked” position, the action of pushing the
bevel lock lever down should feel tight and secure.
Considerable effort should be required to bevel the blade. If
the saw arm moves easily when in the “locked” position, an
adjustment of the bevel lock lever is required.
To adjust:
Unplug the saw.
Lift the bevel lock lever up to unlock.
Locate the two locking jam nuts behind the bevel lock
lever.
Loosen the top jam nut. Turn the bottom jam nut clock-
wise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
Once all adjustments have been made, push the bevel
lock lever down to relock the bevel.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL PIVOT
See Figure 27.
The saw should freely pivot when the bevel lock lever is
“unlocked” and the saw is beveled. A “grating” sound
indicates that the bevel needs to be loosened slightly. If the
movement is tight or there is play in the pivot, an adjustment
is required.
NOTE: At least one thread of the pivot bolt should stick out
past the hex lock nut.
To adjust:
Unplug the saw.
Lift the bevel lock lever up to unlock.
Turn the hex lock nut with 3/4 in. or 19 mm socket.
Once all adjustments have been made, push the bevel
lock lever down to relock the bevel.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at the nearest
authorized service center.
