To reverse the crown bevel pawl, remove the retaining screw, the 22.5°
bevel pawl
56
and the 30° crown bevel pawl
57
. Flip the crown bevel
pawl
57
so the 30° text is facing up. Reattach the screw to secure the
22.5° bevel pawl and the crown bevel pawl. The accuracy setting will not
beaffected.
22.5° Bevel Pawls (Fig.J)
Your saw is equipped to rapidly and accurately set a 22.5° bevel, left or right.
The 22.5° bevel pawl
56
can be rotated to contact the crown adjustment
screw
54
.
Rail Lock Knob (Fig. A1)
The rail lock knob
6
allows you to lock the saw head firmly to keep it from
sliding on the rails
9
. This is necessary when making certain cuts or when
transporting thesaw.
Grooving Stop (Fig. A2)
The grooving stop
30
allows the depth of cut of the blade to be limited.
The stop is useful for applications such as grooving and tall vertical cuts.
Rotate the grooving stop forward and adjust the depth adjustment
screw
29
to set the desired depth of cut. To secure the adjustment, tighten
the wing nut
28
. Rotating the grooving stop to the rear of the saw will
bypass the grooving stop feature. If the depth adjustment screw is too tight
to loosen by hand, the provided 6mm blade wrench
31
can be used to
loosen thescrew.
Lock Down Pin (Fig. A1)

WARNING: The lock down pin should be used only when
carrying or storing the saw. NEVER use the lock down pin for any
cuttingoperation.
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the saw head down, push
the lock down pin
11
in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw
head safely down for moving the saw from place to place. To release, press
the saw head down and pull the pinout.
Slide Lock Lever (Fig. K, U)
The slide lock lever
62
places the saw in a position to maximize cutting of
base moulding when cut vertically as shown in FigureU.
Right-Hand Flip Down Stop (Fig. A1, A2)
The right-hand flip down stop
35
is mounted on the sliding fence
13
and
can be rotated backward when not needed. When cutting multiple pieces
at the same width, rotate the right-hand flip down stop forward, move out
the sliding fence to the required distance from the blade (to be measured
by a ruler) and with the wood board facing against the stop make thecut.
Adjustment
Your mitre saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of
manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other
reason is required, follow the instructions below to adjust your saw. Once
made, these adjustments should remainaccurate.
Mitre Scale Adjustment (Fig.I, L)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
21
and swing the mitre arm until the
mitre latch button
22
locks it at the 0° mitre position. Do not lock the
mitre lockhandle.
2. Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade, as shown. (Do not
touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an
inaccurate measure ment.)
3. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the
four screws
51
that hold the mitre scale
19
and move the mitre lock
handle and the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the
fence, as measured with thesquare.
4. Retighten the four screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer
49
at thistime.
Mitre Pointer Adjustment (Fig.I)
1. Unlock the mitre lock handle
21
to move the mitre arm to the
zeroposition.
2. With the mitre lock handle unlocked, allow the mitre latch to snap into
place as you rotate the mitre arm tozero.
3. Observe the mitre pointer
49
and mitre scale
19
shown in FigureI.
If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the mitre pointer
screw
50
holding the pointer in place, reposition the pointer and
tighten thescrew.
Bevel Square to Table Adjustment (Fig.A1, A2,J,M)
1. To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the down
position with the lock down pin
11
.
2. Place a square against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a
tooth (Fig.M).
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob
33
and ensure the arm is firmly against the
0° bevelstop.
4. Rotate the 0° bevel adjustment screw (
59
Fig. J) with the 6mm blade
wrench
31
as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to thetable.
Bevel Pointer Adjustment (Fig.J)
If the bevel pointers
53
do not indicate zero, loosen each screw
52
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 anglescrews.
Bevel Stop 45° Right and Left Adjustment (Fig.A2,J)
To adjust the right 45° bevel stop:
1. Slide the fence
13
to the full out position before beveling thesaw.
2. Loosen the bevel lock knob
33
and pull the 0° bevel stop
34
to
override the 0° bevelstop.
3. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer
53
does not
indicate exactly 45°, turn the left 45° bevel adjustment screw
58
with
the 6 mm blade wrench
31
until the bevel pointer indicates45°.
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop:
1. Slide the fence
13
to the full out position before beveling thesaw.
2. Loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the head to theleft.
3. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45°
bevel adjustment screw until the bevel pointer reads 45°.
Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 30°) (Fig.A2, J)
NOTE: Adjust the bevel angles only after performing the 0° bevel angle and
bevel pointeradjustment. Slide the sliding fences to the full out position
before starting the 22.5° or 30° beveladjustment.
To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl
56
.
Loosen the bevel lock knob
33
and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel
pointer
53
does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment
screw
54
contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer
reads 22.5°.
To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the 0° bevel stop
34
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 screw
54
contacting the
pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer indicates exactly 22.5°.
Fence Adjustment (Fig. A1)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing
the saw to bevel to a full 49° both left andright.
1. To adjust each fence
13
, loosen the fence adjustment knob
12
and
slide the fenceoutward.
2. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check forclearance.
3. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide
maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up and
downmovement.
4. Tighten the fence adjustment knobsecurely.
5. When the bevel operations are complete, relocate thefence.
NOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. Use a
brush or some low pressure air to clear the guidegrooves.
