45° Stop
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Raise the blade to the maximum elevation.
3. Loosen the blade bevel lock handle and move the
blade to the maximum bevel position (45°)and
tighten the bevel lock handle.
4. Place a combination square on the table and
against the blade (2) to determine if the blade is 45°
to the table. (Fig. W)
5. If the blade is not 45° to the table, loosen or tighten
(depending on whether you are increasing or
decreasing the degrees) the hex screw (4) with a
5 mm hex wrench until you achieve 45°. (Fig. X)
6. The re-loosen the bevel lock handle and reset the
blade at the maximum bevel position (45°), then
tighten the bevel lock handle.
7. Check again to see if the blade is 45° to the table. If
not, repeat step 5.
BLADE TILT POINTER
1. When the blade is positioned at 90°, adjust the
blade tilt pointer to read 0° on the scale.
2. Loosen the holding screw, position the pointer over
0° and tighten the screw.
NOTE:
Make a trial cut on scrap wood before
making critical cuts. Measure for exactness.
BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITRE GAUGE GROOVE
(FIG. Y)
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is
disconnected from the power source outlet.
This adjustment was made at the factory, but it should
be rechecked and adjusted if necessary.
This adjustment must be correct or kickback occur,
resulting in a serious injury and accurate cuts cannot be
made.
1. Remove the yellow switch key and unplug the saw.
2. Raise the blade guard away from the blade.
3. Raise the blade to the maximum height and set the
bevel angle at 0°.
4. Select and mark with a felt tip marker, one blade
tooth with a “right set” angle and position this tooth
at the front of the saw approximately 1/2 in. above
the table.

5. Place the combination square base (1) into the right
side mitre gauge groove (2) flush against the inside
of the mitre gauge groove.
6. Adjust the ruler so it touches the front marked tooth
and lock ruler so it holds its position in the square
assembly.
7. Rotate the blade to the rear of the saw bringing the
marked tooth approximately
1/2 in. above the blade.
8. Carefully slide the combination square to the rear
until the ruler touches the marked tooth.
9. If the ruler touches the marked tooth at the front and
rear position, no adjustment is needed at this time.
If not, perform the adjustment procedure described
in next section.
ADDITIONAL BLADE ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. Z)
1. If the front and rear measurements are not the
same, remove the combination square and loosen
the four adjusting screws (1) on the top of the table
about a half turn.
2. Cover the blade with a folded piece of cardboard
to protect your hands. Move the blade and motor
mounting rod carefully to the left or right as much as
needed to align the blade correctly.
3. Tighten the four screws (1) and re-measure, as
described in steps 4 to 9 in the prior section.
4. If sufficient adjustment cannot be made by the
four adjusting screws (1), then also loosen the two
adjusting screws (2) and repeat all previous steps.
Loosen these screws only if necessary as they are
set for accurate 90° and 45° settings.
5. Recheck the blade clearance making sure that the
blade does not hit the table insert or other parts
when at the 90° and 45° settings.
6. Re-tighten all four adjusting screws (1) and reset the
90° and 45° setting as stated on page 19.
