Refer  to  the  following  procedures  for 

the adjustment: 

Unplug the tool and lower the handle 

completely, use the socket wrench to 

turn  the  adjusting  bolt  until  the 

distance between the front face of the 

guide fence and the front point where 

the  blade  crossing  with  the  top 

surface  of  the  turn  base  meets  130 

mm (5-1/9

”). (

With  the  tool  unplugged,  rotate  the 

blade  by  hand  while  holding  the 

handle  all  the  way  down  to  be  sure 

that  the  blade  does  not  contact  any 

part  of  the  lower  base.  Re-adjust 

slightly, if necessary. 

 

 

Adjusting the Miter Angle 

CAUTION: 

 Be  sure  to  raise  the  handle  fully 

while turning the turn base. 

Loosen  the  grip  by  turning  it 

counterclockwise.  Turn  the turn  base 

while  pressing  down  the  lock  lever. 

When the grip has been moved to the 

position  where  the  pointer  points  to  the  desired  angle  on  the  miter  scale,  securely 

tighten the grip clockwise. (

Adjusting the Bevel Angle 

CAUTION: 

 Be sure to raise the handle fully while tilting the saw blade. 

 The saw blade can be tilted at 45° to the left only when the sub-fence locates at the 

left position (

refer to the instructions of 

Sub-fence

). 

  After  changing  the  bevel  angle,  always  secure  the  arm  by  tightening  the  lever 

clockwise. 

To  adjust  the  bevel  angle,  loosen  the  lever 

at the rear of the tool counterclockwise. (

Fig. 

13

 

 

 

Push  the  handle  to  the  left  to  tilt  the  saw 

blade  until  the  pointer  points  to  the  desired 

angle  on  the  bevel  scale.  Then  tighten  the 

lever  clockwise  firmly  to  secure  the  arm.
