The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45°
to the table surface. To check and adjust the positive
stops, proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it.
Place a triangular rule on the table and check to see
if the saw blade is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If
the saw blade is at an angle shown in Fig. A, turn the
adjusting screws clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in
Fig. B, turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise to
adjust the positive stops.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the saw blade at
90° to the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer
so that its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation.
