4. 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 workpieces resting against the fence.
5. Re-tighten the jamb nut while holding the adjustment bolt in place.
6. 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 surface.
Auxiliary Depth Control Assembly
:
NOTE
This feature is designed for easily making repetitive shallow cuts such as dado cuts and lap joints.
You will need to experiment and make several test cuts until you determine the proper depth of cut. We suggest
you practice on scrap wood with the same thickness dimensions before you start cutting your project wood. This
unique design allows the operator to quickly engage or disengage the depth control assembly. It simply rotates
on the Depth control bolt.
1. Locate the auxiliary depth control assembly (3+4) on the saw arm and on the left side of the dust port.
2. If the saw arm is locked in the down position, release it by pulling the saw arm lock knob out.
3. Rotate the cutting depth stop plate (5) to the left position.
4. Loosen the jamb nut (4) counter–clockwise several turns.
5. Use a 5mm Allen wrench to turn the auxiliary depth control bolt (3). Clockwise will decrease the amount
of travel and depth of cut, counter-clockwise will increase the amount of travel and depth of cut.
6. Lower the saw arm completely. The auxiliary depth control bolt will contact the cutting depth stop plate (5).
Check if it is the cutting depth desired. If not, repeat step 5.
7. Once you have reached the desired cutting depth, tighten the jamb nut (4) while holding the auxiliary
depth control bolt in place.
8. To disable the auxiliary depth control, rotate the cutting depth stop plate (5) back to the position on the right.
SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE (FIG 11,12)
WArNINg:
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 rail sliding lock knob located at the rear left of the saw, then push the cutting head back
towards the rear of the saw as far as it will go and retighten the sliding lock knob.
3. Push the cutting head down and lock it into place by pulling out on the saw arm lock knob, rotating it
clockwise until it engages and the saw head is locked into position.
4. Loosen the miter lock handle by turning it counter clockwise.
5. Pull up on the miter detent lever located under the miter lock handle while rotating the miter table to the
0° position.
NOTE
: Check if the red miter pointer (1) points to 0° on the miter
scale. If not, loosen the miter pointer screw and adjust the pointer
to 0° on the scale and retighten.
6. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
7. Pull the saw head down completely and move the arm release
knob into the transport position, locking the blade and arm in
the down position.
8. Lay a small framing square (3) or tri-square on the miter table.
Place one leg of the square against the fence (2) 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.)
9. Check that the edge of the square and the saw blade are
parallel along the entire length of the square's edge.
10. If the front or back portion of the blade angles away from the
square's edge, adjusting the fence is necessary.
11. Using the 6mm Allen wrench provided, loosen the four hex
bolts (4) that secure the fence to the saw's stationary table.
12. While holding one leg of the square against the fence, slowly move the fixed fence (2) to the left or right until
the saw blade is parallel with the square's other leg.
13. Carefully tighten the four hex bolts and recheck the blade alignment as in steps 6 and 7.
Be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the
