Fig. Z 1 3 4 Quick-cam Miter Table Lock Operation (Fig. Z) If miter angles required are NOT one of the ten positive stops noted above, the miter table can be locked at any angle between these positive stops by using the quick-cam miter table lock. 1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam miter table lock (1). 2. While holding the positive stop locking lever (2) up, grasp the miter handle and move the miter table left or right to the desired angle. 3. Release the positive stop locking lever. 4. Press down on the quick-cam miter table lock (1) until it locks the miter table in place. NOTE: The quick-cam miter table lock should lock the table and prevent it from moving. If adjustment is needed, see next step. Quick-cam Miter Table Lock Adjustment (Fig. Z) 1. Press down and lock the miter quick- cam table lock. 2. Using a 13 mm wrench, turn the stop nut (4) to the left as shown to extend the locking arm against the base of the miter saw. 3. Test the quick cam miter lock to verify it locks the table into position SETTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIG. AA) The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow cuts. 1. Adjust the cutting head down (See CUTTING HEAD section) until the teeth of the blade are at the desired depth. 2. While holding the upper arm in that position, turn the stop knob (1) until it touches the stop plate (2). 3. Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along the control arm. Adjusting Cutting Depth (Fig. AA) The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the factory. Check to see that the blade does not extend more than 1/4 in. below the table insert, and does not touch the control arm throat or any part of the base or table. If the maximum depth needs readjusting: 1. Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving the cutting head down until the blade extends just 1/4 in. below the table insert. 2. Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the stop plate (2).
