Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due

to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps

below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain

accurate.

Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (ﬁ g. E1–E4)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the

mitre arm (42).

• Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.

Do not tighten the lever.

• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (43).

• Place a square (44) against the left side of the fence (3) and blade (39)

(ﬁ g. E3).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the

square.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the screws (45) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or

right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square.

• Retighten the screws (45). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre

pointer at this point.

Adjusting the mitre pointer (ﬁ g. E1, E2 & F)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the

mitre arm (42).

• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (46) to the zero position,

as shown in ﬁ g. F.

• With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as

you rotate the mitre arm past zero.

• Observe the pointer (46) and mitre scale (7). If the pointer does not

indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (47), move the pointer to read

0° and tighten the screw.

Mitre lock/detent rod adjustment (ﬁ g. A1, G)

If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (4) is locked,

the mitre lock/detent rod (48) must be adjusted.

• Unlock the mitre lever (4).

• Loosen the lock nut (61) on the miter lock rod.

• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (48) using a screwdriver.

Then loosen the rod one turn.

• Check that the table does not move when the lever (4) is locked at

a random (not preset) angle.

• Tighten lock nut (61).

Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (ﬁ g. A2, H1–H4)

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21) and lift the bevel latch (20) to

release the saw arm.

• Move the saw arm until the latch locates it at the 0° bevel position.

Do not tighten the handle.

• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (43).

• Block the head saw down with the pin (22).

• Place a set square (44) on the table and up against the blade (39) (ﬁ g. H2).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the

square.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the nuts (55) and move the saw arm assembly left or right until

the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with the square.

Retighten the nuts (55).

• If the bevel pointer (50) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (15),

loosen the screw (51) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as

necessary.

Adjusting the fence (ﬁ g. I1 & I2)

The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing

the saw to bevel to a full 48° both left and right.

To adjust the left fence (3):

• Loosen the plastic knob (52) and slide the fence to the left.

• Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.

Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide

maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down

movement of the arm.

• Tighten the knob securely.

To adjust the right fence (8):

• Loosen the plastic knob (53) and slide the fence to the right.

• Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.

WARNING: The guide grooves (54) can become clogged with

sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide

grooves.

Adjusting the bevel clamping system (ﬁ g. J)

If the saw arm can be moved when the bevel clamp handle (21) is locked,

the clamping sytem must be adjusted.

• Remove the screw (56) holding the handle.

• Lift off the handle and turn it 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Reﬁ t the screw.

• Check that the saw arm does not move when the bevel clamp handle

(21) is locked at a random (not preset) angle.

Rail guide adjustment (ﬁ g. J)

• To reduce clearance, gradually rotate the set screw (57) clockwise

while sliding the saw head back and forth. Adjust the clearance to be

as small as possible without causing any slide resistance.
