Adjusting Front Stabilizing
Bolt
The front stabilizing bolt is located on the
bottom of the saw’s base near the 0° miter
detent slot (Fig. 24). It provides additional
support when making slide cuts.
The stabilizing bolt has been factory set. If
it is loose or needs adjustment, follow
these steps:
1. Move the saw so that you have easy ac-
cess to the bolt area. Loosen the stabi-
lizing bolt and the jam nut using a 10mm
wrench.
2. Place the saw back on your work table.
Unscrew the stabilizing nut until it con-
tacts the table.
3. Move the saw again so that you have ac-
cess to the bolt area. While holding the
head of the bolt with a 10mm wrench or
pliers, use a 10mm open end wrench to
fully tighten the jam nut against the boss
in the saw’s base.
