SLIDING MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY
Checks and Adjustments (Continued)
WARNING:
Begin by unplugging your saw. Failure to unplug saw
could result in accidental starting causing possible serious
injury.
TO ADJUST THE MITER FENCE
1. Set the miter fence (H) at 0° as shown in figure 52. Miter
indicator (I) should be set precisely on 0° and secured
in place with adjusting clamp (J).
2. There are four slides located under the sliding miter
table. These slides let the miter table move on the base.
Three slides are mounted on eccentric screws that can
be adjusted by loosening the hex nuts on top of the miter
table.
See Figure 54.
3. Loosen the rear hex nuts (Q) on top of sliding miter table
for this adjustment procedure.
NOTE: The front screws (R) are only needed to remove
excessive play in the slides due to wear from extended
use. They are not needed for this procedure. The right
front hex nut is a non-eccentric pivot and should never
be loosened.
4. Adjust the right rear eccentric screw from the lower side
of the miter table so that maximum play exists between
the slide and miter base.
5. Push left rear of miter table snugly against miter base as
shown by the arrow (S) in figure 55 and secure.
6. Place a framing square firmly against the miter fence,
with the other side against the blade.
7. Adjust left rear screw from underneath miter table until
miter fence and blade are square with each other.
8. Tighten hex nut securely.
9. Adjust right rear screw from underneath miter table to
remove excessive play.
10. Tighen hex nut securely.
11. Re-check your setups carefully. Also make sure all
screws, hex nuts, etc. have been tightened securely.
12. If sliding miter table assembly is still not square with the
blade, repeat the above procedures as needed.
13. Make sure that slides remain square to miter base edge
to prevent “cocking” which will result in excessive play
in miter table.
TO ADJUST QUICK-STOP
The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter fence
at exactly zero degrees. However, when sliding miter table
adjustments are made, these adjustments may cause the
quick stop to need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter
scale set at zero degrees. If adjustments are needed, pro-
ceed with the following steps:
1. Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick-stop.
2. Place the quick-stop against the miter fence with miter
scale set at zero degrees.
See Figure 56.
3. Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop securely
against miter fence.
4. Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick-
stop.
5. Check your work. If the quick-stop is not at zero degrees,
repeat steps 1-4.
