NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions.
Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE MITER TABLE TO THE
FENCE
See Figures 13 - 16.
 Unplug the saw.
 Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release the saw arm.
 Raise the saw arm.
 Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.
 Lift and hold the miter lock plate then rotate the miter table
until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
 Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter
lock handle.
 Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Place the other leg
of the square beside the throat plate in the miter table.
The edge of the square and the throat plate in the miter
table should be parallel as shown in figure 13.
 If the edge of the framing square and the throat plate
in the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 14
and 15, adjustments are needed.
 Using the blade wrench provided, loosen the socket head
screws securing the fence. Adjust the fence left or right
until the framing square and throat plate are parallel.
 Retighten the screws securely and recheck the fence-to-
table alignment.
