holds the PositiveStop Adjustment Screw.

Bevel Lock Handle, Repeat steps 9 through 12 for 45° stop.

Your saw has two scale pointers. One is on the Bevel scale and one ison the Miter

scale. After any blade squaring adjustments are made, it may be necessary to

loosen the screws that hold the clear red pointers and adjust them back to 0°.

THROAT PLATE SLOT

For your convenience the slot in the zero clearance throat plate has been pre-cut at the

factory to allow complete blade clearance at any angle between 0° and 45".

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and

under normal cimumstances do not require readjustment.

Travel Pivot Adjustment

Yoursaw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself.

To avoid risk of personal injury, if your saw arm does not rise by

itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have your saw serviced

at a Sears Service Center before using.

Bevel Pivot Adjustment

Your compound miter saw arm should bevel easily by loosening the bevel lock knob

and tilting the saw arm to the left.

To avoid risk of personal injury, if movement is tight or if there is play in

the pivot, have your saw serviced at a Sears Service Center before using

DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limitsthe downward travel of the blade. It allows the blade to go below the

miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions the blade

1/4-inch from the miter table support.

NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter table.

The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 10-inch blade

included with your saw. Therefore the blade included with your saw should never need

adjustments.

However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may

become necessary to adjust the depth stop in order to provide the maximum cutting capacity.
