SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL
OR BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 10, 11 and 12.

A bevel scale is provided under the work table as a
convenient guide for setting the approximate table
angle for bevel cutting. When greater precision is

required, make practice cuts on scrap material and

adjust the table as necessary for your requirements.
An adjustable zero degree stop is provided to quickly
return the table to the zero degree setting.

■ Loosen the table lock knob and push down on

the right side of the table. If the table stops at O',
the zero degree stop is properly set. if the table
stops somewhere other than zero, then adjust

the zero degree stop.

■ To access the zero degree stop, loosen the table

lock knob, and tilt the table with the right side all
the way down. Just under the front of the saw
table is the zero degree stop. See

Figure 11.

Loosen the hex nut and rotate the hex bolt to
raise or lower the bolt as needed to adjust the

zero degree stop. Be sure to check to see that
the table is square to the blade.

Now, by returning the tabie to the zero position, the
zero degree stop provides a quick reference to the

preset position.
