ADJUSTMENTS
TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE
See Figure 76.
You can set the miter gauge at 0° and plus or minus 45°
with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.
NOTE:
The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled
cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
 Loosen knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter
gauge base past stop screws.
 Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin
with a 8 mm wrench.
 Place a 90° square against the miter gauge rod and the
miter gauge base.
 If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod,
and tighten the knob.
 Adjust the 0° stop screw until it rests against the stop pin.
 Adjust the plus and minus 45° stop screws using a 45°
triangle and the steps above.
TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT OF
THE RIP FENCE
See Figure 77.
The rip fence must be parallel to the saw blade and the miter
gauge grooves.
WARNING:
A misaligned rip fence can cause kickbacks and
jams. To reduce the risk of injury, always maintain
proper rip fence alignment.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the locking handle to permit the rip fence to be
moved.
 Place a framing square beside the blade and move the
rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip
scale.
 Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180°
to check the other side.
 If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the
4 screws on the fence and align it.
 Retighten the 4 screws.
 Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts
are not true, repeat the process.
NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the locking handle
is engaged. The clamp screw on the rear of the rip fence is
tightened by turning clockwise to increase tightness of the
rear of the rip fence. Adjust if needed.
