CALIBRATING MITER DETENT SYSTEM
1. Engage the miter detent at the 0° position.

and engage the slide rail lock knob by tightening
the knob to the right (clockwise) (item 25 - page
12).
4. Lock saw down using the head assembly lock pin
(item 36 – page 12).
5. Hold one side of a 90° combination square
against the fence and rotate the table (and
detent plate) until the side of the saw blade plate
is in full contact with the other side of the
square...do not contact the blade teeth with the
sqaure (figure 13).
6. Tighten all four screws – loosen and reset the
miter scale pointer to the “0” position.
MITER SCALE POINTER ADJUSTMENT
