See Figures 10, 11, and 12.

WARNING: A 10 in. bladeisthe maximum

blade capacity ofyour saw. Never use a blade

that istoo thick to allowouterbladewasherto

engage withthe flats on the spindle.Larger

blades willcome in contact withthe blade

guards, whilethickerbladeswillpreventthe

bladescrewfrom secudngthe bladeon the

spindle. Eitherofthese situationscouldresultin

a sadous accident and cancause serious

personal injury.

• Unplugyour saw.

A WARNING: Failureto unplugyour saw could

resultin accidentalstartingcausing possible

sedous personal injury.

Push downon the saw armand pulloutthe lock

pinto release saw arm. Raise saw arm toitsfull

raised position.Becautious, saw arm isspdng

loaded to raise.

• Loosenthe phillipsscrewon the blade bolt

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.

_l_ WARNING: Yoursaw shouldnever be

connectedto powersupplywhen you are

assemblingparts,makingadjustments,installing

or removingblades, or when not in use.

Disconnectingyoursaw willpreventaccidental:

cu'rlrlNG A SLOT IN THE ZERO

CLEARANCE THROAT PLATE

In orderto useyourcompound miter saw, you must

cuta slotthroughthe zeroclearance throatplate to

allowfor blade clearance.To cutthe slot,sat your

saw at Odegrees miter,turn saw on and allowthe

bladeto reach fullspeed, then carefully make a

straight cutas far as itwillgo throughthe throatplate.

Turn yoursaw offand allowthe bladeto cometo a

complete stop beforeraisingthe saw arm.

Next, adjust the bevel angleto 45 degrees, tumyour

saw on and allowthe blade to roach full speed, then

carefully make another cutthroughthe zero clearance

throat plate.The throat plate willthen be wide enough

toallow the blade topass throughit at any anglefrom

Oto45 degrees.

After squaringadjustmentshave been made, it may

be necessaryto loosen the indicatorsscrewsand

Note: These adjustmentswere made at the factory

and normallydo not requirereadjustment.

TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

• The saw arm shouldrisecompletelyto the up

• If the sew armdoes notraise byitselfor ifthere is

play in the pivotjoints,have saw repairedbya

qualifiedservice technicianat yournearest Sears

store toavoid riskof personalinjury.

BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

• Your compoundmiter saw shouldbevel easilyby

looseningthe bevel lock knoband tiltingthe sew

If movement istightor ifthere is playin the pivot,

have saw repairedby a qualifiedservicetechni-

cian at yournearest Sears store to avoiddskof

personal injury.

DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limitsthe blade'sdownwardtravel. It,

allowsthe bladeto go belowthe mitertable enoughto

maintainfull cuttingcapacities. The depthstop posi-

tionsthe blade 114in. from the mitertable support.

Note: The miter table supportis locatedinsidemiter

table.

The depthstopis factory setto providemaximum

cuttingcapacity for the 10 in. sew blade providedwith

yoursaw. Therefore, the saw blade providedshould

never need adjustments.

However, when the diameterofthe bladehas been

reduced due to sharpening, it may be necasseryto

adjustthe depth stop toprovidemaximumcutting

capacity. Also, when a new bladeis installed,it is

necessary tocheck the clearanceofthe bladetothe

miter table supportbeforestartingthe saw. Make

adjustmentsif needed.

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure25.

• Unplug yoursaw.

_k WARNING: Failureto unplugyoursaw could

resultin accidentalstartingcausing posaible

serious personalinjury.

To adjust thedepth stopuse a 17 mmwrenchor
