See Figures 24 - 27.
n
Unplug the saw.
n Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
n Loosen the miter lock handle.
n Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned
at 0 ° .
n Retighten the miter lock handle.
n Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg
of the square against the flat part of blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the blade, not the blade teeth.
n The edge of the square and the blade should be paral-
lel as shown in figure 24.
n If the front or back edge of the blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 25 and 26, adjustments
are needed.
n Using a 8 mm wrench, loosen the hex screws that
secure the mounting bracket to the miter table.
n Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the blade
is parallel with the square.
n Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-
to-fence alignment.
