SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 21 - 23.
• Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
i
• Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
• Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.
• Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table
until the pointer on the control arm is positioned at 0.
• Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the
miter lock handle.
• Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0 bevel
(blade set 90_to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
• Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of
the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
• Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
• The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 21.
• If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjustments
are needed.
• Loosen the lock nut securing positive stop adjustment
screw. Also loosen bevel lock knob.

• Adjust positive stop adjustment screw to bring
saw blade into alignment with the square. See
Figure 24.
• Retighten bevel lock knob. Next, retighten lock nut se-
curing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck
blade-to-table alignment.
Note: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both O
and 45_angles.
Your saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have
been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicators
screws and reset them to zero. See Figure 20.
