ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 20 - 22
To square the blade at 0°:
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
 Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
 Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
 Release the detent release button and allow the miter
table to engage the 0° detent position. Push the miter
lock lever down to secure the miter table.
 Push the bevel stop pin inward. See figure 12.
 Loosen bevel lock knob and tilt saw arm until it is seated
in the positive 0° bevel stop (blade set 90° to miter table).
Tighten bevel lock knob.
 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 20.
 If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 21 and 22, adjustments
are needed.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob.
 Adjust 0° bevel stop screw to bring saw blade into align-
ment with the square. See 0° Bevel Adjustment in the
Adjustments section.

To square the blade at 45°:
 Loosen the bevel lock knob and set the saw arm at 45°
bevel. Tighten bevel lock knob.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, pull the bevel stop
pin out and tilt the saw to the desired angle.
 Using a combination square, check the blade-to-table
alignment as described earlier.
 If adjustments are needed, refer to 45° Bevel Adjustment
in the Adjustments section.
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 Figures 13-14.
