THROAT PLATE SLOT (Fig. 7)
The throat plate was cut (slotted) at the
factory for a 0° bevel/miter cut.
The first cut you will make with the saw will
be to increase this slot in the throat plate by
setting the bevel scale to 45 °, locking the bevel
lock knob into position and cutting into the
throat plate, increasing the width of the slot.

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
I
NOTE:These adjustments were made at the factory and under normal I
circumstances do not require readjustment.
I
Saw Arm Travel Pivot Adjustment:
Your saw arm should rise (travel) completely to the up position by itself.
I
z WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury, if your saw arm does not rise I
by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have your saw serviced at a Sears
I
Service Center before using.
Bevel Pivot Adjustment:
Your miter saw arm should bevel easily by loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting
the saw arm to the left.
I
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury, if movement is tight or if I
there is play in the bevel pivot, have your saw serviced at a Sears Service
I
Center before using.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 10) If Necessary
The depth stop limits the downward travel of the blade. It allows the blade to go below
the miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities.
NOTE: The miter table support is located under the miter table and throat
plate.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the
71/4-inch blade included with your saw. Therefore the blade included with
your saw should never need adjustments,
When a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the
blade to the miter table support (see Fig. 10a on page 24) before starting
the saw. Make adjustments if necessary.
