Setting the table square with the blade
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the outlet.
2. Push the saw arm (34) down to its lowest position and engage the release knob (6) to hold the saw arm in the
transport position.
3. Loosen the miter lock (10) (Fig. 17).
4. Rotate the table (9) until the pointer is positioned at 0º
.
5. Tighten the miter lock (10).
6. Loosen the bevel lock (17) and set the saw arm (5) at 0º
bevel (the blade at 90º to the miter table). Tighten the
bevel lock (17) (Fig. 18).
7. Place a set square against the table (9) and the flat part of the blade (Fig. 19).
Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.
9. The edge of the set square and the saw blade should be parallel.
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set square, adjust as follows.
11. Use a 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench to loosen the lock nut securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (35)
(Fig. 20). Also, loosen the bevel lock (16).
12. Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (32) with the 6mm hex key to bring the saw blade into alignment with
the square (Fig. 21).
13. Loosen the 2 Phillips head screws holding the pointer of the bevel scale (7) and adjust the position of the
pointer so that it accurately indicates zero on the scale (Fig. 22). Retighten the screw.
14. Retighten the bevel lock (17) and the lock nut securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (32).
Note: The above procedure can also be used to check the angle of the saw blade to the table at either 45º
bevel
angle to the left or to the right. The 45° bevel adjustment screws (30 & 33) are on opposite sides of the saw arm.
You will require a 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench (not supplied) for the lock nut (Fig. 23) and the 6mm hex
key for the set screws (Fig. 24).
