ADJUSTMENTS
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 14.
If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 15 and 16, adjust-
ments are needed.
Loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter
fence to the miter table.
See Figure 13.
Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is
parallel with the square.
Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-to-
fence alignment.
Insert the throat plate, lower the blade and secure with
the screws. Tighten firmly. See page 18 for instruction
regarding “cutting a slot in the zero clearance throat
plate”.
Your saw has scale indicators. After squaring adjustments
have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicators
screws and reset them to zero.
See Figure 17.
