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 .

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 .

ADJUSTING OR REPLACING THE KERF BOARD

1 . if the kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced .

2 . Remove the four screws holding the kerf Board in place .

3 . install a new kerf Board . Replace the four screws and tighten them slightly .

4 . To adjust the kerf Board, lower the Saw Blade and lock it down with the locking pin . adjust the

kerf Board so the right side of the Blade slightly clears the edge of the kerf Board . loosen the

Bevel lock and set the Bevel angle at 45º left . ensure that the left side of the Blade clears the

kerf Board . Tighten the four screws holding the kerf Board in place .

CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE MITER SAW
1 . observe the dust Bag while using the saw . empty the sawdust into an appropriate container

when the bag is full .

2 . occasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that accumulates on the saw . Saw dust on the Fence can

cause you to make inaccurate cuts .

3 . keep the Slides free of sawdust . wipe or blow them off as required . use a dry lubricant or wax

on the slides . do not use an oil or grease lubricant, as this will attract dust .

4 . occasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table as well as other moving parts with a dry

lubricant .
