NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and 
normally do not require readjustment.

n

  The saw arm should rise completely to the up position 

by itself. 

n

  If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play 

in the pivot joints, have saw repaired by a qualified 
service technician at your nearest Sears Service Center  
to avoid risk of personal injury.

n

  The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loos-

ening the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the 
left.

n

  If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have 

saw repaired by a qualified service technician at your 
nearest Sears Service Center to avoid risk of personal 
injury.

See Figure 43.
The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. It 
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to 
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions 
the blade 1/4 in. from the miter table support.
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter 
table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting 
capacity for the 10 in. saw blade provided with the saw. 
Therefore, the saw with blade provided should never need 
adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been re-
duced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust 
the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also, 
when a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the 
clearance of the blade to the miter table support before 
starting the saw. Make adjustments if needed.

Fig. 42

Before performing any adjustment, 

make sure the tool is unplugged from the power 
supply and the switch is in the OFF ( O ) position. 
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious 
personal injury.

The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the fac-
tory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the 
components might have moved out of alignment during 
shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will 
probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking 
the saw, 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 the saw is cutting accurately.

Do not start the compound miter saw 

without checking for interference between the blade 
and the throat plate. Damage could result to the 
blade if it strikes the throat plate during operation of 
the saw.
