DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
WArning:
Be sure the machine is unplugged from the power source. Accidental saw start-up could result in
serious personal injury.
nOTE:
Your Miter Saw should come adjusted properly for depth of cut while using the Factory-installed blade for
normal operation.
The downward travel or depth of cut, of the saw blade can be controlled to prevent contact with the metal surfaces of the miter saw, to insure the blade
completely cuts through the work piece, and permit depth of cut settings for special operations.
To adjust the miter saw blade's cutting depth
nOTE:
This is factory set and usually does not require adjusting. (This saw may not come with the necessary tools for
the following procedure.)
1. Locate the cutting depth adjustment bolt assembly (a+b) on the right side of saw arm knuckle. (FIG 5)
2. If the saw arm is locked in the down position, release it by rotating the lock knob a quarter turn.
4. using the open end wrench provided, loosen the jamb nut (b) counter clockwise several turns. using the same wrench loosen or tighten to adjust the
stop bolt (a). Clockwise rotation will raise the depth of cut; counterclockwise rotation will lower the depth of cut.
5. As you lower the saw blade, rotate the blade to be sure it does not contact the machine's metal surfaces and will allow through cutting of work
pieces resting against the fence.
6. Re-tighten the jamb nut (b) while holding the adjustment stop bolt (a) in place.
7. Before each use of the miter saw, with the saw unplugged, lower the blade and rotate it by hand to confirm the blade does not contact the miter saw

surfaces.
WArning:
Whenever installing a new blade, always be sure that the new blade does not contact any part of
the machine's metal base when the handle is completely lowered. Perform this test with the tool unplugged from the
power source.
SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
WArning:
Be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power source before performing any
work on the tool. Failure to unplug the saw may result in accidental start-up, causing possible serious personal injury.
1. unplug the miter saw.
2. Loosen the miter lock knob (7), rotate the miter table and move pointer to the 0° position. (FIG 6)
3. Tighten the miter lock knob securely.
4. Pull the saw head down completely and move the head release knob (24) into the transport position, locking the blade and arm in the down position.
5. Lay a small framing square or tri-square on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence and slide the other leg of the square
against a flat part of the saw blade. (Be sure the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade and not the blade teeth.)
6. Check that the edge of the square and the saw blade are parallel along the entire length of the square's edge.
7. If the front or back portion of the blade angles away from the square's edge, adjusting the fence is necessary.
8. using the allen wrench provided, loosen the four hex bolts (c) that secure the fence to the saw's stationary table. (FIG 6)
9. While holding one leg of the square against the fence, slowly move the fence to the left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square's other
leg.
10. Carefully tighten the four hex bolts and recheck the blade alignment as in steps 5 and 6
