ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, remove the battery
pack from the saw. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory
for making accurate cuts. However, some of the components
might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also,
over a period of time, readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear. After unpacking the saw, check the
following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any
readjustments that are necessary and periodically check the
parts alignment to make sure that the saw is cutting accurately.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at your nearest
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT
The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosen-
ing the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw.
If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have
saw repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.
POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 45.
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
To adjust:
Remove the battery.
Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob counter-
clockwise.
Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
If the blade is out of square, loosen the lock nut and hold
in place while loosening or tightening the positive stop
adjustment screw using the blade wrench provided. After
adjusting, tighten the lock nut to secure.
Retighten bevel lock knob. 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 0°
and 45° angles.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust-
ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figures 23 - 24.
