1. ';>LN;&;IQ_&RH;@ inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware
• misalignment or binding of moving parts
• damaged cord/electrical wiring
• cracked or broken parts
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. I>J;N&RH;@ wipe external surfaces of the tool with
clean cloth. Carefully clean the dust collection chute
and the area around the Lower Blade Guard. Check
that the Lower Blade Guard moves smoothly through
its entire range of movement, without sticking.
3. Periodically, wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles and NIOSH-approved
breathing protection and blow dust out of
the motor vents using dry compressed air.

The Fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position
while the Table and/or the Saw Head Assembly
are adjusted in a miter or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be
perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on scrap
material with the Table set to the 0º miter position.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square.
You can also reverse the two pieces, hold
the cut ends together, and hold a good
straight edge along the side of the pieces.
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º
angle, adjust the Fence before beginning work.

1. First unplug the tool.
2. Loosen the Slide Lock Knob and push
the Saw Head Assembly to its rearmost
position and retighten the Knob.
3. Lower the Saw Head Assembly and lock it
in place using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
4. Lay a carpenter’s square on the Table with
one edge along the Blade and the other along
the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible.
NOTE: The square must contact the surface of
the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
5. The Fence is held in place with four Fence Adjusting
Bolts. Remove both Sliding Fences to access the
Bolts. Loosen the Bolts slightly, and gently tap the
Fence into position using a soft mallet. Tighten
the Bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the
process until the Fence is adjusted accurately.
