Your compound miter saw has been adjusted at the fac-
tory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the
components might have moved out of alignment during
shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will
probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
your saw, check the following adjustments before you begin
using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and
periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that
your saw is cutting accurately.
