Adjusting 45 and 90 Degree Positive Stops
The blade tilting mechanism of your saw is equipped with a positive stop at 45 and 90 degrees.
To check and adjust these positive stops, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning
the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far
as it will go.
3. Place a square on the table and check to see if the
blade is at a perfect 90 degree angle to the table.
4. If the blade is not at 90 degrees loosen lock nut (C)
and turn stop ring (D) in or out. The stop ring (D)
should stop against the front trunnion bracket when
the blade is at 90 degrees to the table. Recheck and
adjust further if necessary. Retighten lock nut (C).
5. If the 45 degree postive stop is not set properly, turn
the same handwheel clockwise as far as it will go and follow the same procedure using lock
nut (A) and stop ring (B). The stop bolt (B) should stop against the front trunnion bracket
when the blade is at 45 degrees to the table. Recheck and adjust further if necessary.
Retighten lock nut (A).
Miter Gauge Adjustment
1. Miter gauge supplied with saw is equipped
with individually adjustable index stops at 0°
and 45°, right and left, and can be manually
adjusted up to 60° right and left.
2. Adjustment to index stops can be made by
loosening locking nut and tightening or
loosening three adjusting screws. Be sure to
tighten locking nut after adjustment is made.
3. Face of miter gauge has two holes for
purpose of attaching auxiliary facing.
4. Miter gauge is accurately constructed for precision work. Miter gauge is guided through T-
slot with a roller guide mounted at front of guide bar. Roller guide adds to miter gauge's
stability and prevents the guide bar from leaving the T-slot.
5. To operate miter gauge, simply loosen locking knob and move miter gauge to desired angle.
The miter gauge will stop at 0° and 45°, both right and left. To position miter gauge past
these points, simply pull out gauge stop. Position miter gauge at desired angle and tighten
locking knob.
