Bevel Pointers (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointer 16 does not indicate zero, loosen the screw
move the pointer as necessary. Ensure the 0° bevel is correct and the bevel pointers are set before
adjusting any other bevel angle screws.
Bevel Stop 45º Right and Left Adjustment (Fig. H, I)
There are two bevel stop override levers, one on each side of the saw.
To adjust the right 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock knob
lever 29 to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer
does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the left 45° bevel adjustment screw
wrench until the bevel pointer indicates 45°.
To adjust the left 45° bevel angle, first loosen the bevel lock knob
left. If the bevel pointer 16 does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45° bevel adjustment
screw 35 until the bevel pointer reads 45°.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 33.9°) (Fig. H, 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
knob 26 and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer
turn the crown adjustment screw 33 contacting the pawl with a 7/16" wrench until the bevel
pointer reads 22.5°.

Fence Adjustment (Fig. H)
In order that the saw can bevel to many bevel positions, one of the fences may have to be
adjusted to provide clearance. To adjust each fence, loosen the fence adjustment knob
slide the fence 14 outward. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check for clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide max imum workpiece support,
without interfering with arm up and down movement. Tighten the fence adjustment knob
securely. When the bevel operations are complete, don't forget to relocate the fence.
For certain cuts, it may be desirable to bring the fences closer to the blade. To use this feature,
back the fence adjustment knobs out two turns and move the fences closer to the blade past the
normal limit, then tighten the fence adjustment knobs to keep the fences in this location. When
using this feature, make a dry cut first to ensure the blade does not contact the fences.
nOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. If you notice that they are
becoming clogged, use a brush or some low pressure air to clear the guide grooves.
Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. A)
Periodically check the rails for any play or clearance. The right rail can be adjusted with the rail
adjustment screw 23 shown in Figure A. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm hex wrench and
rotate the rail adjustment screw clockwise gradually while sliding the saw head back and forth.
Reduce play while maintaining minimum slide force.
OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove
the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,
cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye
protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3).

WARNING: To ensure the blade path is clear of obstructions, always make a dry run
of the cut without power before making any cuts on the workpiece.

WARNING: Install the table extensions to both sides of the saw's base. Refer to
Assembling the Table Extensions section.
Installing and Removing the Battery Packs (Fig. R)
nOTE: For best results, make sure your battery packs are fully charged.
To install the battery packs into the tool, align the battery packs with the rails on the side
20
of the motor housing and slide them in until they are firmly seated in the tool and ensure that
they do not disengage. Insert the dust cover
between the batteries.
NOTICE: Keep the dust cover in place whenever the corded power supply is not
in use.
To remove the battery packs from the tool, press the battery release button
pull the battery packs out. Insert them into the charger as described in the charger section of
this manual.

Installing and Removing the Corded Power Supply into and from
Tool (Fig. S–U)
Before inserting the corded power supply into your tool, remove the end of the dust cover
from the tool's corded power supply receptacle
corded power supply receptacle so that it does not interfere with insertion of the corded power
supply. Inspect the corded power supply receptacle for debris. Debris inside the receptacle
can prevent the corded power supply from fully seating. If debris is present, clean it using low
pressure air. Refer to Cleaning the Corded Power Supply Receptacle.
NOTICE: The corded power supply is for AC power sources only when used with this
53 and
tool. Use with DC power sources could result in damage to the tool.
To install the corded power supply into your tool:
1. With the corded power supply unplugged, align its AC connector with the tool's corded
power supply receptacle
