8.12.3 45° Bevel adjustment (Fig. 16)
 Loosen the bevel lock handle (1) and tilt the cutting head completely to the left.
 Using a combination square, check to see if the blade angle is 45° to the table.
 If the blade is not at 45° to the mitre table, tilt the cutting arm to the right, loosen the
locknut (2) on the bevel angle adjustment bolt (3) and use a 10 mm wrench to the
adjustment bolt (3) depth in or out to increase or decrease the bevel angle.
 Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45° bevel and recheck for alignment.
 Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the blade is at 45° to the mitre table.
 Tighten bevel lock handle (1) and locknut (2) when alignment is achieved.
8.13 Mitre scale (Fig. 17)
The sliding compound mitre saw scale can be easily read, showing mitre angles from 0° to 45° to
the left, and 0° to 45° to the right. The mitre saw table has nine of the most common angle
settings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position the
blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the process below for quickest and
most accurate adjustments.
8.13.1 To adjust mitre angles
 Unlock the mitre table by turning the mitre handle (1) counterclockwise.
 Move the turntable while lifting up on the positive stop locking lever (2) to align the
indicator (3) to the desired degree measurement.
 If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops, release the positive stop locking
lever, making sure the lever snaps into position, and then secure by tightening the mitre
handle.
 If the mitre angle desired is not one of the nine positive stops, simply lock the mitre table
into desired angle position by turning the mitre handle in the clockwise direction.
8.13.2 Mitre angle pointer adjustment
 Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
 Loosen the screw (4) that holds the indicator with a Phillips screwdriver.
 Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark and retighten the screw.
8.14 Adjusting fence squareness (Fig. 18)
 Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
 Loosen the two fence locking bolts (1) with an 8 mm hex wrench.
 Using a square (3), lay the heel of the square against the blade and the ruler against the
fence (2) as shown.
 Adjust the fence 90° to the blade and tighten the four fence locking bolts.
NOTE: If the saw has not been used recently, recheck blade squareness to
the fence and readjust if needed.
 After fence has been aligned, make a cut at 90° using a scrap piece of wood and check
squareness on the piece. Readjust if necessary.
8.15 Setting cutting depth (Fig. 19)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow cuts.
 Adjust the cutting head down until the teeth of the blade are at the desired depth.
 While holding the upper arm in that position, turn the stop knob (1) until it touches the stop
plate (2).
