(A)
Check that your top and bottom beams are level. If they are not, they should be off by the
same amount, since your frame is square. Verify that the frame is level in the following places:
If your frame is level, you’re good to go!
(B)
OPTIONAL If it isn’t level, first check your measurements from the previous steps to ensure
that your frame is square. Once your measurements are confirmed for squareness, use a few
shims (small pieces of wood or scrap material) under the back and front of the frame legs, on
one or both sides, until your frame is level. This is especially useful in locations that don’t have
level floors.

Leveling your frame
Drew’s Note: It’s very important that your frame
is square and level! All of the M2 calibrations are
based on a well built frame. If the frame isn’t level
and square, the M2 will slant when it cuts and
have all kinds of other small problems.
It will be very difficult, if not impossible to
calibrate properly.

Drew’s Note: Once you’ve verified your frame is level in the locations in step A, you can
toenail the top and bottom of the vertical frame legs to the wall to keep the frame from
shifting over time.
