BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE.
ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
ACTION OF THE SAW ORGUARDS.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before transporting, making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory
at the time of manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping
and handling or any other reason is required, follow the
instructions below to adjust yoursaw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to
maintain the accuracy of which your saw iscapable.
Miter Pointer Adjustment (Fig. H)
Unlock the miter lock mechanism by pulling up on the miter
lock knob
5
. Push the miter latch button
6
down and
allow the miter latch to snap into place as you rotate the
miter arm to zero. Observe the miter pointer
32
and miter
scale
20
shown in FigureH. If the pointer does not indicate
exactly zero, loosen the miter pointer screw
33
holding
the pointer in place, reposition the pointer and tighten
thescrew.
Bevel Square to Table Adjustment
(Fig. A, I, P)
To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the
down position with the lock down pin
19
. Place a square
against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of
a tooth. Loosen the bevel lock knob
10
and ensure the
arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Rotate the 0° bevel
adjustment screw
35
with the 1/2" socket (not provided)
as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table, as
measured with thesquare.
Fig. P
Bevel Pointer (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointer
39
does not indicate zero, loosen the
screw that holds the bevel pointer
40
in place and move
it as necessary. Ensure the 0° bevel is correct and the bevel
pointer is set before adjusting any other bevel anglescrews.
Bevel Stop 45º Left Adjustment (Fig. A, I)
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock
knob and tilt the head to the left. If the bevel pointer does
not indicate exactly 45°, turn the left 45° stop override
screw
37
until the bevel pointer reads 45°.
Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. A, Y)
CAUTION: Pinch hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
keep thumb underneath the operating handle when
pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move
up as the operating handle is pulled down, which
could causepinching.
The lower guard
4
on your saw has been designed to
automatically uncover the blade when the arm is brought
down and to cover the blade when the arm israised.
Before each use or after making adjustments, cycle the arm
(unpowered) and make sure the guard opens smoothly and
closes fully. It should not contact the blade. With the arm
up, raise the guard (unpowered) as shown in FigureY and
release. The guard should fully close rapidly. Do not operate
the saw if the guard does not move freely and fully close
rapidly. Never clamp or tie the guard in an open position
when operating thesaw.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or
removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER
RAISE THE lower GUARD MANUALLY UN LESS THE BLADE
ISSTOPPED.
NOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require
that you manually raise the guard. Refer to Cutting Large
Material under SpecialCuts.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while
cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying
debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses
should be worn at alltimes.
Support for Long Pieces
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONGPIECES.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, as additional support for a workpiece that is
longer or wider than the basic miter saw table or to help
feed, support or pull theworkpiece.
Support long workpieces using any convenient means
such as sawhorses or similar devices to keep the ends
fromdropping.
Cutting Picture Frames, Shadow Boxes
and Other Four-Sided Projects (Fig. Q, R)
To best understand how to make the items listed here, we
suggest that you try a few simple projects using scrap wood
until you develop a “feel” for yoursaw.
