hi i'm dave troll with the show gallery
a custom furniture shop in st
petersburg florida and i'm going to show
you how to unlock a miter saw
the first thing we want to do is unlock
the head and this is common to all miter
saws
and the easiest way to do it is put a
little pressure on the head push it down
a little
and in this case there's a knob right
here pull that out
and we've unlocked the head if you have
a sliding miter saw
there's a lock on the slide in my case
it's this
right here we'll loosen that we've now
unlocked the slide
the next is to unlock your cable so you
can make adjustments there
here again there's usually a knob in the
front in this case i can
loosen that knob and we get to our
desired angle we can go ahead and lock
that back down
the final adjustment is to lock the
bevel
and in this case you're not going to see
this on all saws but on some of your
saws you can
rotate that and we can now tilt
tilt our saw some saws will tilt one way
some will tilt both ways and in this
case i have a stop right here
now i can slide that stop back and i can
now tilt
to either side of square
when i want to come back to square i
push that stop back out
come back make sure we're touching and
then go ahead and lock it back in place
give it an extra little twist there
and real simply that's how to unlock a
miter
