Adjusting the cutting angle

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,

your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Stopper pin

1. Miter angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the
lock lever toward yourself to secure the carriage.
Turn the grip counterclockwise which secures the
turn base. Turn the turn base so that the pointer
points to 0° on the miter scale. Then turn the turn
base slightly clockwise and counterclockwise to
seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as
it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the
hex sockets bolts securing the guide fence using
the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then
securely tighten the hex socket bolts on the guide
fence in the order from the right side.
