MITER SCALE (FIG. 17)
The sliding compound miter saw scale can
be easily read, showing miter angles from 0°
to 50° left and right. The most common angle
settings have positive stops at 0°,15°, 22.5°
, 31.6°, 45° left and right and 60° right only.
These positive stops position the blade at the
desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the
process below for quickest and most accurate
adjustments.
To Adjust Miter Angles:
●
Unlock the miter table by turning the miter
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 miter handle.
●
If the miter angle desired is not one of the
nine positive stops, simply lock the miter
table into position by turning the miter
handle in the clockwise direction.
Miter Angle Pointer Adjustment (Fig. 17):
●
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.
ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (FIG. 18)
●
Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
●
Loosen the three fence locking bolts (1)
using a 6 mm 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 to be 90° to the blade and
tighten the three 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
o
using a scrap of wood and check
squareness on the piece. Readjust if
necessary.
