ADJUSTMENTS TO ADJUST the miter gauge See Figure 48. You can set the miter gauge at 0° and plus or minus 45° with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws. NOTE: The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.  Loosen knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter gauge base past stop screws.  Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin with a 8 mm wrench.  Place a 90° square against the miter gauge rod and the miter gauge base.  If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod, and tighten the knob.  Adjust the 0° stop screw until it rests against the stop pin.  Adjust the plus and minus 45° stop screws using a 45° triangle and the steps above. TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE TO THE BLADE See Figure 49.  Unplug the saw.  Raise the locking lever to permit the rip fence to be moved.  Place a framing square beside the blade and move the rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip scale.  Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180° to check the other side.  If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two screws on the fence and align it.  Retighten the two screws.  Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process. warning: Before plugging the saw back in to make test cuts, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the blade guard is in place. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
