Mitre Scale Adjustment (Fig. H, K)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
19
mitre latch button
locks it at the 0° mitre position. Do not lock the
20
mitre lock handle.
2. 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.)
3. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the
four screws
48
that hold the mitre scale
handle and the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the
fence, as measured with the square.
4. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer
at this time.

Mitre Pointer Adjustment (Fig. H)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
19
zero position.
2. With the mitre lock handle unlocked, allow the mitre latch to snap into
place as you rotate the mitre arm to zero.
3. Observe the mitre pointer
46
and mitre scale
If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the mitre pointer
screw
47
holding the pointer in place, reposition the pointer and
tighten the screw.
Bevel Square to Table Adjustment
(Fig. A1, A2, I, L)
1. To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the down position
with the lock down pin
9
.
2. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a
tooth (Fig. L).
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob
31
0° bevel stop.
4. Rotate the 0° bevel adjustment screw (
blade wrench
29
as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to
the table.
Bevel Pointer Adjustment (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointers
do not indicate zero, loosen each screw
50
holds each bevel pointer in place and move them as necessary. Ensure the
0° bevel is correct and the bevel pointers are set before adjusting any other
bevel angle screws.
Bevel Stop 45° Right and Left Adjustment (Fig. A2, I)
To adjust the right 45° bevel stop:
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob
31
to override the 0° bevel stop.
2. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer
indicate exactly 45°, turn the left 45° bevel adjustment screw
the 6 mm hex blade wrench
29
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop:
a. Loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the head to the left.
b. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45°
bevel adjustment screw until the bevel pointer reads 45°.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 30°) (Fig. A2, I)
nOTE: Adjust the bevel angles only after performing the 0° bevel angle and
bevel pointer adjustment.
To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl
Loosen the bevel lock knob
and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel
31
pointer
50
does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment
screw
51
contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer
reads 22.5°.
To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the 0° bevel stop

Fence Adjustment (Fig. A1)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing
the saw to bevel to a full 49° both left and right.
1. To adjust each fence
11
slide the fence outward.
2. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check for clearance.
3. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide
maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up and
down movement.
4. Tighten the fence adjustment knob securely.
5. When the bevel operations are complete, relocate the fence.
For certain cuts, it may be desirable to bring the fences closer to the blade.
To do so, loosen the fence adjustment knobs
to the blade past the normal limit, then tighten the fence adjustment knobs.
Make a dry cut first to ensure the blade does not contact the fences.
For certain cuts it may be desirable to remove the sliding fence. To do so,
loosen the fence adjustment knobs
free of the base fence. The fence lanyard
removed completely from the saw or being lost. Once the cut is complete,
replace the sliding fence.
nOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. Use a
brush or some low pressure air to clear the guide grooves.
Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. X)
The lower guard
1
on your saw has been designed to automatically
uncover the blade when the arm is brought down and to cover the blade
when the arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades
or for inspection of the saw. NEVER RAISE THE lower GUARD MANUALLY
UN LESS THE BLADE IS STOPPED.
Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. A1)
Regularly check the rails
7
The right rail can be adjusted with the set screw
use a 4 mm hex wrench and rotate the set screw clockwise gradually while
sliding the saw head back and forth.
Mitre Lock Adjustment (Fig. A1, M)
The mitre lock rod
57
should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be
moved when the mitre lock handle is locked (down).
1. Put the mitre lock handle
2. Using a 13 mm open end wrench, loosen the lock nut
32
lock rod.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, tighten the mitre lock rod by turning it
clockwise as shown in Figure M. Turn the lock rod until it is snug, then
turn counterclockwise one turn.
4. Re-lock the mitre lock to a non-detented measurement on the mitre
scale – for example, 34° – and make sure the table will not rotate.
5. Tighten lock nut.
Prior to Operation
•
Install the base extensions to both sides of the saw's base. Refer to
Assembling the Base Extensions section.
•
Check the protective belt cover for damage and the proper functioning
of the lower guard.
•
Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
slot is wider than 12 mm.
•
Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
saw blade.
•
Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
