Tilt Angle Indicator
The tilt angle indicator is located at the
front of the Professional Cabinet Saw,
just behind the elevation handwheel (see
Fig. 116). The indicator shows the current
angle of the blade relative to vertical (i.e.,
perpendicular to the table top).
Once the 0° limit stop is correctly set, turn
the tilt handwheel clockwise until the limit
stop is reached. Check the reading of the
tilt angle indicator. If necessary, adjust
the indicator by using a 4 mm hex key to
loosen the two locking screws that attach
the indicator to the left and right sides of
the elevation shaft and repositioning the
indicator until it reads 0°. It may be helpful
to remove the elevation handwheel to
access the screws. Lock the indicator in
place by tightening the locking screws.
Making Adjustments to Your Saw
45° Tilt Limit Stop
To check the position of the 45° limit stop, install
a 10 inch saw blade on the arbor (see page 29).
Raise the blade to its full elevation, and turn the tilt
handwheel counter-clockwise until the limit stop
is reached. Using a combination square, check
to see that the blade is at a 45° angle to the table
(see Fig. 115). If you need to adjust the position of
the 45° limit stop follow the instructions below.
The 45° tilt limit stop is set by the yellow painted
bolt located on the front trunnion bracket (see
Fig. 114) and can be accessed through the side
panel. Use a 17 mm wrench to turn the bolt and a
14 mm wrench to turn the locking nut.
If the blade cannot reach an angle of 45° with the
table at maximum tilt, fi rst loosen the locking nut
and back it off several turns. Then turn the 45°
tilt limit bolt clockwise several turns. Next, set the
blade at a 45° angle with the table. If the blade still can’t reach a 45° angle with the table, keep turning the nut
counter-clockwise and the 45° tilt limit bolt clockwise until the blade is at a 45° angle with the table. Once the
blade is in the correct position, turn the 45° tilt limit bolt counter-clockwise until tight. Finally, turn the locking
nut clockwise until tight. The 45° tilt limit stop has now been set.
If the blade goes past an angle of 45° with the table at maximum tilt, fi rst loosen the locking nut and back it off
several turns. Next, set the blade at a 45° angle with the table. Then turn the 45° tilt limit bolt counter-clockwise
until it is tight. Finally, turn the locking nut clockwise until it is tight.
