Bevel Square to Table Adjustment (Fig. A, I, L)
1. To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the down position with the lock
down pin19 .
2. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a tooth (Fig. L).
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob28 and ensure the arm is firmly against the 0° bevelstop.
4. Rotate the 0° bevel adjustment screw (57 Fig. I) with the 13mm blade hex wrench27 as
necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to thetable.
Bevel Pointer Adjustment (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointers18 do not indicate zero, loosen each screw50 that holds each bevel
pointer in place and move them as necessary. Ensure the 0° bevel is correct and the bevel
pointers are set before adjusting any other bevel anglescrews.
Bevel Stop 45° Right and Left Adjustment (Fig. A, I)
To adjust the right 45° bevel stop:
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob28 and pull the bevel stop override knob30 to override the
0° bevelstop.
2. if the bevel pointer18 does not indicate exactly 45° when the saw is fully to the right and
the 45° bevel adjustment screw55 is contacting the 45° bevel override lever, turn the left
45° bevel adjustment screw55 with the 13 mm blade hex wrench27 (provided with
some units) until the bevel pointer indicates45°. Ensure the 45° bevel override lever52 is
in contact with the 45° bevel adjustment screw55 .
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop:
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob28 and tilt the head to theleft.
2. If the bevel pointer18 does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45° bevel adjustment
screw55 until the bevel pointer reads 45°.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 30°) (Fig. A, I)
NOTE: Adjust the bevel angles only after performing the 0° bevel angle and bevel
pointeradjustment.
To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl53 . Loosen the bevel lock
knob28 and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer18 does not indicate exactly
22.5°, turn the crown adjustment screw51 contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench (not
provided) until the bevel pointer reads 22.5°.
To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl53 . Loosen the bevel
lock knob28 and pull the bevel stop override knob30 to override the 0° bevel stop. When
the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown
adjustment screw51 contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer
indicates exactly 22.5°.
Fence Adjustment (Fig. A, Y2)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to
a full 49° both left andright.
1. To adjust each fence16 , loosen the fence adjustment knob63 and slide the fenceoutward.
2. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check forclearance.
3. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece
support, without interfering with arm up and downmovement.
4. Tighten the fence adjustment knobsecurely.
5. When the bevel operations are complete, relocate thefence.
For certain cuts, it may be desirable to bring the fences closer to the blade. To do so, back the
fence adjustment knobs63 out two turns and move the fences closer to the blade past the
normal limit, then tighten the fence adjustment knobs. Make a dry cut first to ensure the blade
does not contact thefences.
NOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. Use a brush or some low
pressure air to clear the guidegrooves.
Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. A)
The lower guard1 on your saw has been designed to automatically uncover the blade when
the arm is brought down and to cover the blade when the arm israised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of
the saw. NEVER RAISE THE LOWER GUARD MANUALLY UN
Kerf Plate Adjustment (Fig. A)
To adjust the kerf plates11 , loosen the 6 screws holding the kerf plates in place. Adjust so
that the kerf plates are as close as possible without interfering with the blade’smovement.
If a zero kerf width is desired, adjust the kerf plates as close to each other as possible. They can
now be cut slowly with the saw blade to give the smallest gap possible between the blade
and the kerfplates.
Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. A)
Regularly check the rails23 for play or clearance. Ensure the rail lock knob24 isloosened.
The right rail can be adjusted with the rail adjustment screw25 . To reduce clearance, use a
4 mm hex wrench (not provided) and rotate the set screw clockwise gradually while sliding
the saw head back andforth.
Mitre Lock Adjustment (Fig. A, M)
The mitre lock rod59 should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be moved when the
mitre lock handle is locked (down) and in a non-detentedposition.
1. Put the mitre lock handle8 in the unlocked (up)position.
2. Using a 13 mm open end wrench, loosen the lock nut58 on the mitre lockrod.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, tighten the mitre lock rod by turning it clockwise as shown in
FigureM. Turn the lock rod until it is snug, then turn counterclockwise oneturn.
4. Re-lock the mitre lock to a non-detented measurement on the mitre scale – for example,
34° – and make sure the table will notrotate.
5. Tighten locknut.
Prior to Operation
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum
rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade. Do not use any
abrasiveblades.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
• Secure theworkpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these operating
instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other
ma
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf slot is wider than
10mm.
