MITRE SCALE 
The sliding compound mitre saw scale can be easily read,
showing mitre angles from 0° to 45° to the left, and 0°
to 45° to the right. The mitre saw table has nine of the
most common angle settings with positive stops at 0°,
15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°. These positive stops position
the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
Follow the process below for quickest and most accurate
adjustments.
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following as
needed.
To Adjust Mitre Angles:
Unlock the table by turning the mitre handle (1)
counter-clockwise.
Move the table while lifting up on the positive stop locking lever (2) to align the indicator (3) to the
desired degree measurement.
If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops, release the positive stop locking lever, making
sure the lever snaps into position, and then secure by tightening the mitre handle.
If the mitre angle desired is not one of the nine positive stops, simply lock the table into desired angle
position by turning the mitre handle in the clockwise direction.
NOTE:
To empty the dust bag, remove it from exhaust port. Open zipper on underside of bag and empty into waste
container.
IMPORTANT:
Check bag frequently and empty it before it gets full.
