1. Adjusting the Blade Height:

The height of the blade can be adjusted from

1

/

8

inch

below the table top to 3

1

/

8

inch above the table top.

To adjust the height of the blade, loosen the elevation

locking knob and turn the elevation hand wheel until the

blade is at the desired height (see Fig. 25). Turn the

hand wheel clockwise to raise the blade, and counter-

clockwise to lower the blade. Lock the blade height by

tightening the elevation locking knob.

For through-cuts (i.e., cuts where the wood is cut

through its entire thickness), the blade height should be

adjusted so that the top of the blade is no more than

1

/

8

inch to

1

/

4

inch above the workpiece.

The saw includes limit stops to prevent the height of

the blade from being adjusted past the maximum and

minimum setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set at the

factory and should not need adjustment. If you decide

to adjust the blade elevation limit stops, see page 56 for

instructions.

CAUTION! When adjusting the height or tilt angle of the blade, reverse the hand wheel

slightly to release tension after reaching the limit stops. This prevents any slight twisting

of the cast iron assembly that might affect blade parallelism and table alignment.

2. Adjusting the Blade Tilt Angle:

The tilt (bevel) angle of the blade can be adjusted

between 0º and 45º. To adjust the tilt angle of the

blade, loosen the tilt locking knob and turn the

tilt hand wheel until the blade is at the desired

angle. The tilt angle of the blade is indicated by

the position of the tilt angle indicator on the tilt

angle scale (see Fig. 26). Turn the tilt hand wheel

clockwise to increase the tilt angle, and counter-

clockwise to decrease the tilt angle. Lock the tilt

angle by tightening the tilt locking knob.

The saw includes limit stops to prevent the tilt

angle of the blade from being adjusted past the

0º and 45º setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set

at the factory and should not need adjustment. If

you decide to adjust the blade tilt limit stops, see

page 58 for instructions.
