SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 28 - 31.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and lock in transport
position.
Lift the miter lock lever.
Rotate the miter table until the pointer on the miter scale
is positioned at 0
°
.
Lock the miter lock lever by pushing it down.
Lift the bevel lock lever to loosen and set the saw at 0
°
bevel (blade set 90
°
to miter table). Retighten the bevel
lock lever by pushing it down.
Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 29.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 30 and 31, adjustments
are needed.
Lift the bevel lock lever.
Using the blade wrench, loosen the two socket head
screws securing the bevel scale and slide the pivot
assembly left or right as needed to bring the saw blade
into alignment with the square. Retighten the socket head
screws.
Retighten the bevel lock lever by pushing it down.
Recheck blade-to-table alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0
°
and 45
°
angles.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust-
ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figure 28.
