7.  If measurements are not equal, locate the four 

screws that hold table to cabinet (E, Figure 
17).  

8.  Loosen the four screws and bump the table as 

needed to align it with blade. Retighten screws 
firmly.

stops 

 

Tool:

  12mm Wrench, combination square 

Stops have been set by the manufacturer, but 
should be verified by the operator. Also after a 
period of use, or after relocating saw, the stops 
may need readjusting. To check and adjust the 
stops:  

1.  Disconnect saw from power source. 

2.  Raise saw blade to maximum height. 

3.  Set blade at 90-degrees to table by turning 

blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it 
will go. 

4.  Place a square on the table and check to see 

that blade is at 90-degree angle to table 
(Figure 19). Make sure square is not touching 
a blade tooth. 

 

Figure 19 

5.  If blade is not at 90-degrees, open motor cover 

and tilt blade to access the stop screw.   

6.  Loosen lock nut (A, Figure 20) and turn stop 

screw (B) on front trunnion as needed. The 
stop screw should contact front trunnion 
bracket when blade is 90-degrees to table. Tilt 
blade back to 90-degrees and verify.  

7.  Tighten lock nut (A, Figure 20). 

 

Figure 20 

8.  Verify pointer accuracy (C, Figure 21). Adjust if 

needed. 

9.  Set blade at 45-degrees to table by turning 

blade tilting handwheel counter-clockwise as 
far as it will go.  

10.  Place an angle measuring device on the table 

and against blade.   

11. If blade is not at 45-degrees, loosen lock nut 

(D, Figure 21) and turn stop screw (E) on the 
front trunnion as needed. The stop screw 
should contact front trunnion bracket when 
blade is 45-degrees to table. (Note: You may 
wish to remove front handwheel for better 
access to stop screw.) 

12.  Verify pointer accuracy (C, Figure 21).
