hi i'm mark from ereplacementparts.com
in this video I'm going to show you how
to square up it online a Dewalt DW 708
miter saw
we'll start by aligning the minor
adjustment on the saw the minor
adjustment is held in place by these
detents on this plate on the base of the
saw so to align this I'll need to loosen
the four screws that hold this plate to
the saw with the detent plate now loose
from the base of the saw I'll go ahead
and rotate the head of the saw until it
locks into the zero Degree d-10 now when
I move the head of the saw detent plate
will move with the saw this will allow
me to square the blade to the fence I'll
use a small square to do that again now
as I move the saw the detent plate is
also moving which will allow me to lock
it in at 90 degrees so everything looks
square on my square now I'll block the
two bolts on the outside edges of the
detent plate with the detent plate
secured in place with two screws now I
can go ahead and tighten up the other
two
and that's it for the miter adjustment
now we can take a look at the bevel
adjustment on the saw the DW 708 can
bevel 45 degrees to both directions of
the blade as well as lock in place at 90
degrees so we'll have three adjustments
we'll need a look at - to set the 45
degree bevel and one to set the 90
degree bevel we'll go ahead and make
those adjustments now I'll start by
setting the 90 degree adjustment I have
the bevel lock unlocked on the saw I'll
take a small square and place it on the
base of the saw and up against the blade
now I can see how felt how far out of
square I am using the 90 degree
adjustment point on the back of the saw
I'll turn it with a rank until I'm
perfectly square on my square and that
looks good so the 90 degree adjustment
is set now we'll look at the first of
the two forty-five degree adjustments to
set these I'll take my adjustable
combination square and remove the rule
so I can use the head to set the 45
degree measurement now I'll get the
adjustable fence out of the way on one
side of the saw and I'll tip the head
over to the 45 degree setting again I
can place my combination square against
the base of the saw and up against the
blade and then turn the bolt on the back
of the saw to make this adjustment and
that looks good there
and now I'll go ahead and make the same
adjustment on the opposite side
and that looks good right there
and that's all it takes to align the
mitre of bevel adjustments on a Dewalt
DW 708 miter saw if you found this video
