WEN 70711 10 inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw trouble shooting - Manual (Page 3)

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
1. For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the
Table.
2. To check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position. Make a cut
on a piece of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material.
3. Check the cut with an accurate square. The cut should be at exactly 90º. You can also
check by rotating one cut-off piece 180º and hold the cut ends together. If the cut is not
exactly vertical, the two pieces will form a slight angle.
4. If necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel Adjustment
Screw on the right side under the Bevel Locking Lever.
5. Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to read 0º when the
Saw Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw holding the Indicator in place,
adjust it to be exactly over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw.
With all of the adjustments made and verified for accuracy, make sure the stock you are
cutting is held in place firmly against the fence and clamped down.
Be sure the saw has reached full speed before you begin your cut.
