ADJUSTING THE BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITRE
GAUGE GROOVE (FIG. L, M, N)
This adjustment must be correct or kickback could
result and accurate cuts cannot be made.
1. Raise the blade to its highest position and set it to 0°
bevel angle.
2. Select a tooth on the saw blade which is bent to
the right. Mark that tooth with a pencil or permanent
marker.
3. Place the mitre gauge (1) in the right hand groove
(2) on the table top. Set the mitre gauge to 90° and
tighten the gauge handle to lock it in that position.
4. Rotate the blade to bring the marked tooth in the front
and about 13 mm above the table top. Place the bar
of square (3) flat against the mitre gauge and move
the bar toward the saw blade until it just touches the
tip of the marked saw blade tooth. (Fig. L)
Fig. L
5. Without disturbing the bar clamped to the mitre gauge
(1), move the mitre gauge to the centre of the saw
blade. Rotate the blade so the marked tooth is at the
rear and about 13 mm above the table top.
6. Slide the mitre gauge rearward until the clamped bar
is closest to the tip of the marked tooth. (Fig. M)
Fig. M
7. If the bar just touches the tooth when the gauge was
in the front position, it should touch the tooth in the
rear position.
8. If the front and rear clearance are not identical, remove
the mitre gauge, loosen four screws (1) and carefully
grasp the saw blade. Make necessary correction until
measurements taken at the front and rear are identical.
Tighten the four screws (1). (Fig. N)

ADJUSTING 90° POSITIVE STOP OF BLADE
1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the
saw blade tilting mechanism to the left until it hits
against the stopper. Then tighten the saw blade tilt
lock handle.
3. Use a square (1) to check the saw blade is at 90°.
(Fig. O)
4. If the saw blade is not at 90°, loosen the saw blade
tilt lock handle. Adjust the screws (2-Fig. N) a few
turns and move the saw blade tilting mechanism until
the blade is at 90° to the table.
5. Tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle after adjustment.
6. Loosen the screw of the tilt pointer and set the
pointer to 0°.
Fig. O
ADJUSTING 45° POSITIVE STOP OF BLADE
1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the
saw blade tilting mechanism to the right until it hits
against the stopper. Then tighten the saw blade tilt
lock handle.
3. Use a 45° gauge (2) to check the saw blade is at 45°.
(Fig. O)
4. If the saw blade is not at 45°, loosen the saw blade
tilt lock handle. Adjust the screws (3-Fig. N) a few
turns and move the saw blade tilting mechanism until
the blade is at 45° to the table.
5. Tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle after adjustment.
6. Loosen the screw of the tilt pointer and set the
pointer to 45°.
