Your compoundmiter saw has been adjusted at the
factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some
of the components might have been jarred out of
alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time,
readjustment will probably become necessary due to
wear. After unpacking your sew, check the following
adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any
readjustments that are necessary and periodically
check the parts alignment to make sure that your saw
is cutting accurately.

connected to powersupply when you are
assemblingparts, making adjustments,installing
or removingblades, or when not in use.

In order to use your compound miter saw, you must
cut a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to
allow for blade clearance. To cut the slot, sat your
saw at O degrees miter,turn saw on and allow the
blade to reach fullspeed, then carefully make a
straight cut as far as it will go through the throat plate.
