ADJUSTMENTS

This procedure squares the blade to the table at 0°

bevel (vertical) so the blade angle will be accurate. If

the blade is not at 0° bevel, follow the steps below to

rotate slightly. You will need a framing square and a

1/4 in. hex key.

■ Position the blade in front of the fence. Lower the

blade with the elevating handwheel until it just

clears the front table.

■ Lock the following controls:

bevel lock lever below the handle,

carriage lock knob on the left side,
arm lock knob on top of the arm, and
yoke lock handle below the yoke, on the right.

■ Stand a framing square on the table with the short

leg pointing up against the saw blade and the long
leg parallel to the fence. Place the square flat

against the blade between two teeth.

■ If both the top and bottom of fhe saw blade are flaf

against the square, no adjustment is needed.

■ If the saw blade gaps at the top or bottom, remove

the bevel index cap by removing the two phillips

head screws (below the handle). You will see four

socket head screws.

■ Loosen the socket head screws with a 1/4 in. hex

key. Rotate the motor slightly while holding the

square against the saw blade and table top.

■ Slightly tighten each of fhe four screws and recheck

the blade and framing square.

ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT 0' BEVEL

See Figures 30A - 30D.

If there are no gaps, fully tighten each screw. If

there is still a gap, repeat the previous two steps.

Check the bevel indicator on the yoke assembly
near the handle. It should read 0°. If it does not,
reset it by loosening the screws and rotating the
bevel index cap. Retighten the two screws.

Loosen the carriage lock knob.
