WEN 70711 10 inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw trouble shooting - Manual (Page 2)

Saw does not cut straight
We recommend that you check all adjustments with an accurate carpenter’s square:
ADJUSTING THE FENCE
1. To adjust the Fence, first unplug the tool
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the locking pin
3. Lay a reliable carpenter’s square on the table with one edge along the blade and the
other along the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. NOTE: The square must
contact the surface of the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading
4. The Fence is held in place with bolts at each end loosen the bolts slightly, and gently
tap the Fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten the bolts and make another test
cut. Repeat the process until the Fence is adjusted accurately
5. Once the Fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck one
last time, then proceed to…
ADJUSTING THE MITER TABLE INDICATOR
1. After you have checked or adjusted the fence to be sure it is at 90º to the Blade, you
must check the accuracy of the Miter Table Angle Indicator.
2. Loosen the screw holding the Angle Indicator in place. Rotate it until the pointer is
exactly on 90º. Retighten the screw. Then proceed to…
