Setting the 0° stop
Before making right angle cuts, the 0° stop
must be adjusted.
1. Set sole plate angle at 0° and lock it
into position.
2. Make a test cut.
3. Check the cutting angle with a
carpenter’s square. If the cut is not
square, readjust the sole plate angle
until it is square.
4. Once the sole plate is producing a
square cut, loosen the adjusting lock
nut (1) using a 9/32" (7 mm) wrench.
Turn the set screw (2) clockwise using
a #2 Philips
®
screwdriver until it
touches the sole plate (Fig. 9). While
holding the set screw with the
screwdriver, tighten the lock nut.
NOTE: The set screw may have to be
loosened to allow the sole plate to be set
at 0°.
INSTALLING THE EDGE GUIDE
1. Loosen the edge guide adjusting knob
(1) (Fig. 10).
2. Slide the edge guide rod (2) into the
edge guide slot (3). Continue to slide
the guide rod across the sole plate
and into the adjusting knob slot (4) in
the sole plate on the opposite side.
3. Adjust the edge guide shoe to the
correct distance from the blade and
tighten the set screw.
