Miter Detent System – Adjustment
Procedure
CALIBRATING MITER DETENT SYSTEM
1. Engage the miter detent at the 0° position. Loosen
the miter lock knob 1/2 turn.
2. Look for four round holes in the miter scale plate.
In each hole is a screw 40. Use the small end of the
6/4mm hex key or a 4mm hex key to loosen all four
screws 1 to 2 turns. This will loosen the miter detent
plate 16 (see Fig. 15).
3. Lock saw down using the head assembly lock pin
(item 43 – page 12).
4. 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 is in full contact with
the other side of the square (Fig. 16).
5. Tighten all four screws – loosen and reset the miter
scale pointer to the “0” position.
MITER SCALE POINTER ADJUSTMENT
1. Rotate table to 0° position and lock in place.
2. Raise the head assembly to the full UP position.
3. Loosen the pointer adjust screw that holds the miter
scale pointer in place (see Fig. 17).
4. Position the pointer to align with the 0° line. Tighten
the screw.
Kerf Insert Adjustment
The kerf inserts should be adjusted close to the blade,
but without touching the blade, to avoid tear-out on the
bottom of the workpiece.
1. Hold the saw head assembly down and push in the
head assembly lock pin (item 43 – page 12) to keep
the saw in the DOWN position.
2. Loosen the six kerf screws using the supplied
6/4mm hex key (Fig. 18).
3. Adjust the kerf inserts as close to the blade (teeth)
as possible without touching the blade.
4. Tighten the kerf screws.
NOTE: At extreme bevel angles, the saw blade may
slightly cut into kerf insert.
