MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Procedures not specifically explained
in this manual must be performed
only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position
and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before
performing any procedure in this section.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged
equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance,
and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, 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, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. AFTER USE, 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. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: If the plug or the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
Calibrating the Miter Scale
To make accurate cuts, the Saw Blade
must be perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to
the Fence. To adjust the setting:
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Lower the Saw Head Assembly and lock it
in place using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
3. Pull up on the Miter Detent Lock Lever to unlock
the Table. Push the Detent Latch Button down and
move the Table to the 0º miter position. Release the
Miter Detent Lock Lever to lock the Table in position.
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. If the Fence is not perpendicular (at a 90º angle)
to the Saw Blade, loosen the four screws holding
the Miter Scale. Using the square to measure,
move the Table and Scale together left or right
until the Blade and Fence are perpendicular
to each other, then tighten the four screws.
6. Once the Blade and Fence are perpendicular,
check the Miter Angle Indicator and Miter Scale.
The Indicator should point to zero. If necessary,
loosen the Miter Angle Indicator screw and move
the Indicator to zero, then tighten the screw.
Calibrating the Bevel Angle
For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade
must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to
the Table. To adjust the setting:
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Remove the Bevel Scale.
3. Loosen the adjustment hardware
and set the bevel angle to 0º.
4. Tighten the adjustment hardware
and replace the Bevel Scale.
5. Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the left and
right Bevel Angle Indicators to read 0º when the Saw
Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screws
holding the Indicators in place, adjust them to be
exactly over the 0º mark, then retighten the screws.
Adjusting or Replacing
the Kerf Board
If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced.
1. Remove the six screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
2. Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the
six screws and tighten them slightly.
3. To adjust the Kerf Board, lower the Saw
Head Assembly and lock it in place
using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
4. Adjust the Kerf Board so the right side of the
Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board.
5. Loosen the Bevel Lock and set
the Bevel Angle at 45º left.
6. Ensure that the left side of the
Blade clears the Kerf Board.
7. Tighten the six screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
