of the blade.
2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is
a difference between the measurement and the
indicator, adjust the indicator (6).
3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the
correct measurement on the scale. Tighten the
screw and remeasure with the rule.

connected to the power source outlet.
ADJUSTING THE 90° AND 45° POSITIVE STOPS
(FIG.Q-1,Q-2,Q-3)
Your saw has positive stops that will quickly position
the saw blade at 90° to the table. Make adjustments
only if necessary.
90° Stop
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Turn the blade elevation handwheel and raise
the blade to the maximum elevation.
3. Loosen the blade bevel lock handle (2) and
move the blade to the maximum vertical position.
Tighten the lock handle (2).
4. Place a combination square on the table and
against the blade (1)to determine if the blade is
90° to the table. (Fig. Q-2)
5. If the blade is not 90° to the table, loosen the two
set screws (4), located underneath the table saw,
(Fig. Q-3) with the hex key, and back off the
collar..
6. Loosen the bevel lock knob. Turn the blade
tilting handwheel to move the blade until it is 90°
to the table.
7. Adjust the collar (5) so it contacts the bracket (3)
when the blade is 90° to the table. Tighten the
two set screws (4).
90°
45°
45° Stop
1. With the blade in the upright 90° position, loosen
the bevel lock knob and move the blade to the
45° position as far as it will go.
2. Place the combination square on the table as
shown in (Fig.Q-2) to check if the blade is 45° to
the table.
3. If the blade is not 45° to the table, loosen the two
set screws (4) (Fig. Q-3) with the hex key. Back­
off the collar (5) then align the blade 45° to the
table, adjust the collar (5) so it contacts the
bracket (3).
4. Retighten the two set screws (4).
BLADE TILTING POINTER
1. When the blade is positioned at 90°, adjust the
blade tilting pointer to read 0° on the scale.
2. Loosen the holding screw, position pointer over 0°
and tighten the screw.
NOTE; Make a trial cut on scrap wood before
making critical cuts. Measure for exactness.
