15 Amp Corded 12 in. Dual Bevel Miter Saw with LED

Hi Bigmike, Thanks for choosing the RIDGID 15 Amp Corded 12 in. Dual Bevel Miter Saw with LED R4123. To square the blade to the fence. Unplug the saw. Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position. Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent release button to release the miter table. Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is positioned at 0°. Release the detent release button, engaging the positive stop notch, then push the miter lock lever down to secure the miter table. Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel (blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob. Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square against the flat part of saw blade. NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 15. If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 16 and 17, adjustments are needed. To view figures 16 and 17, I am enclosing a URL for the Use and Care Manual. I hope this helps and thanks for reaching out to us! - Eve
