MITER SCALE (FIG. 17)
The sliding compound miter saw scale can be easily
read, showing miter angles from 0° to 45° to the left,
and 0° to 45° to the right. The miter saw table has
nine of the most common angle settings with positive
stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive
stops position the blade at the desired angle quickly
and accurately. Follow the process below for quickest
and most accurate adjustments.
To Adjust Miter Angles:
● Unlock the miter table by turning the miter handle
(1) counterclockwise.
● Move the turntable while lifting up on the positive
stop locking lever (2) to align the indicator (3) to
the desired degree measurement.
● If the desired angle is one of the nine positive
stops, release the positive stop locking lever,
making sure the lever snaps into position, and then
secure by tightening the miter handle.
● If the miter angle desired is not one of the nine
positive stops, simply lock the miter table into
desired angle position by turning the miter handle
in the clockwise direction.
Miter Angle Pointer Adjustment (FIG. 17)
● Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
● Loosen the screw (4) that holds the indicator with
a Phillips screwdriver.
● Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark and
retighten the screw.
ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (FIG. 18)
● Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
● Using a square (3), lay the heel of the square
against the blade and the ruler against the fence
(2) as shown.
● Loosen the two fence locking bolts (1) with an 8 mm
hex wrench.
● Adjust the fence 90° to the blade and tighten the
four fence locking bolts.
NOTE: If the saw has not been used recently,
recheck blade squareness to the fence and
readjust if needed.
●
After fence has been aligned, make a cut at 90
°
using a scrap piece of wood and check squareness
on the piece. Readjust if necessary.
