SOCKET HEAD SCREW(S) ASSEMBLY MITER FENCE BLADE FENCE Fig. 18 SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE See Figures 18 - 22  Unplug the saw.  Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.  Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn.  Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table until the scale indicator on the control arm is positioned at 0°.  Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter lock handle.  Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square against the flat part of saw blade. NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.  The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 19.  If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 20 and 21, adjustments are needed.  Loosen the socket head screws that secure the miter fence to the miter table.  Rotate the miter fence left or right until the saw blade is parallel with the square.  Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-tofence alignment. The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero. 18 MITER TABLE FRAMING SQUARE MITER LOCK HANDLE VIEW OF BLADE SQUARE WITH FENCE Fig. 19 MITER FENCE BLADE MITER TABLE FRAMING SQUARE MITER LOCK HANDLE VIEW OF BLADE NOT SQUARE WITH FENCE, ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED Fig. 20 MITER FENCE BLADE MITER TABLE FRAMING SQUARE MITER LOCK HANDLE VIEW OF BLADE NOT SQUARE WITH FENCE, ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED Fig. 21
