the adjustable positive stop which will cause the blade to
stop. Tighten the hand-wheel lock knob (clockwise)and the
adjustment knob until it is securely tightened.

2. Using a combination square (B) check that the blade is
90 degrees to the saw table (zero degrees on bevel
Scale).
3. If the blade will tilt to 90 degrees, when the set
screw contacts the position stop, and turn it until
the blade can be positioned to 90 degrees.
4. Once the blade has been tilted to 90 degrees (confirm
this using your square), tighten the bevel handwheel
lock knob, located on the side of the cabinet. This will
