ADJUSTING THE BEVEL PIVOT
See Figure 28.
The saw should freely pivot when the bevel lock knob is
"unlocked" and the saw is beveled. A "grating" sound
indicates that the bevel needs to be loosened slightly. If the
movement is tight or there is play in the pivot, an adjustment
is required.
To adjust:
[] Unplug the saw.
[] Loosen the bevel lock knob.
[] Using the 8 mm hex key provided, turn the socket head
cap screw clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to
loosen.
[] Once all adjustments have been made, securely tighten
the bevel lock knob.

SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 29 - 31.
[] Unplug the saw.
[] Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
[] Loosen the miter lock handle.
[] Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned
at 0°.
[] Securely tighten the miter lock handle.
[] Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
[] Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
[] Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
[] The edge of the square and the blade should be
parallel.
[] If the top or bottom of the blade angles away from the
square as shown in figures 30 and 31, adjustments are
needed.
[] Loosen the jam nut on the top and bottom gib screws.
See Figure 22.
[] Loosen the top gib screws.
[] Tighten or loosen the lower gib screws as required to
square the blade to the table.
[] Once blade is square with table, tighten the lower two
jam nuts.
