45° Bevel Adjustment (Fig. 16):
Loosen the bevel lock handle (1) and tilt the
cutting head completely to the left.
Using a combination square, check to see if
the blade angle is 45° to the table.
If the blade is not at 45° to the miter table,
tilt the cutting arm to the right, loosen the
locknut (2) on the bevel angle adjustment
bolt (3) and use a 10 mm wrench to the
adjustment bolt (3) depth in or out to
increase or decrease the bevel angle.
Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45° bevel
and recheck for alignment.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the blade is
at 45° to the miter table.
Tighten bevel lock handle (1) and locknut (2)
when alignment is achieved.
MITER SCALE (FIG. 17)
The sliding compound miter saw scale can be
easily read, showing miter angles from 0° to
50° to the left, and 0° to 50° to the right. The
miter 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.
To Adjust Miter Angles:
Unlock the miter table by turning the miter
handle (1) counterclockwise.
Move the turntable 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 miter handle.
If the miter angle desired is not one of the
nine positive stops, simply lock the miter
table into desired angle position by turning
the miter handle in the clockwise direction.
Miter Angle Indicator Adjustment (Fig. 17)
Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
Loosen the screw (4) that holds the indicator
with a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark and
retighten the screw.
