Model G0885 (Mfd. Since 04/19)

This setting has been made at the factory and
should not need to be adjusted under normal cir-
cumstances. However, if you find the saw is not
cutting square, you may need to adjust the blade.
Only make this adjustment after ruling out other
potential factors, such as excessive feed rate
or the blade guide bearing assembly and blade
guard being set too far away from the workpiece.
