each of the four set screw positions to determine
if the table insert is even with saw table surface.
(See figure 13.) If uneveness exists, adjust as
follows:
(a) If an adjustment is necessary, rotate each of
the four set screws (or as many as required)
with a 3/32 inch hex-”L" wrench until table
and insert surfaces are even. (See figure 14.)
(b) Make sure that ends of all four set screws are
making contact with table recess by pressing
on the insert at each set screw location. If the
insert "rocks" when pressed at any of the
four screw locations, adjust set screws until
the "rocking" is eliminated.
3. Adjust the 90° and 45° Stops.
a. Checking and Adjusting the 0° Position
(1) Loosen the elevation lock by pulling out the
elevation lock knob and rotate the elevation crank
to raise the saw blade to the deepest cut position.
(See figure 15.) Push elevation lock in.
(2) Loosen the clamp knob and rotate the tilt crank
counterclockwise until it will rotate no farther.
(3) With the saw blade in position described above,
tighten the clamp knob to secure the tilt mech­
anism.
(4) Place a square on the saw table and against saw
blade. (See figure 16.) The blade should be at 90
degrees (perpendicular) to the table top surface.
( 5 ) If the blade is not square with the table top, loosen
the clamp knob (figure 15) and rotate the tilt
crank to move the mechanism off the 90° stop.
This can be accomplished by rotating the tilt crank
until the pointer on tilt scale indicates approxi­
mately 10 degrees. Rotate the 90° stop screw
in table top with a 3/16-inch hex-"L" wrench to
produce an approximate correction. (See figure
17.) Rotate the tilt crank until the saw blade is
stopped by the 90° stop screw and recheck with
the square for an exact 90° position of the saw
blade. Continue these trial settings until the saw
blade stops at exactly 90° with the table top.
( 6 ) When the saw blade is adjusted squarely with
the table top, check the pointer on the tilt gauge,
which should be positioned at exactly
0 (zero)
degrees. (See figure 15.) If not at zero, loosen
the attaching screw and align pointer with the
"
0 " mark, then tighten the screw.
