Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
with the stopper pin. Push the carriage towards the
guide fence.
Rotate the grip counterclockwise and have the turn
base ready for the positive stop function using the lock
lever.
Then loosen the screws which secure the pointer and
miter angle scale.

Set the turn base to the 0° position using the positive
stop function. Square the side of the circular saw blade
with the face of the guide fence using a triangular rule
or try-square. While keeping the square, tighten the
screws on the miter angle scale. After that, align the
pointers (both right and left) with the 0° position in the
miter angle scale and then tighten the screw on the
pointer.
