To Square Saw Blade with the Table Top
Make sure the tabletop is level and place a steel square
against the side of the blade; the square should be against
the gullets and not the teeth of the blade. If the blade is not
square to the tabletop:
1. Release the bevel clamp handle (A) and bevel latch (B).
2. Loosen the two set screws (C) in the front of the yoke
locking the bronze bevel latch adjustment screws. (D).
3. Adjust the bevel latch adjustment screws by backing off
one and tightening the other to move the blade flush to
the square. Tighten the two locking set screws to a re-
quired torque of 90-100 inch/lbs.
4. After adjustment, the bevel latch should move freely but
with no side play.
5. Engage the bevel latch and bevel clamp and recheck
for square.
6. Adjust the bevel pointer (E) to line up with zero on the
bevel scale.
Adjustment of Rear Trunion and Bevel Clamp Handle
If the rear motor trunion is loose in the yoke, or if bevel clamp will not hold:
1. Loosen locking set screws (A in Figures 5 and 6) and bevel clamp (B in figure 5).
2. Tighten rear trunion pinch bolt socket head cap screw (B, figure 6) until bevel movement becomes
slightly difficult and requires force to move. Reset its locking set screw to a torque of 90
—
100 inch/lbs.
3. Tighten the bevel clamp stud (C in figure 5).
4. Tighten its locking set screw to 90-100 inch/lbs.

If after making these adjustments the blade continues to heel, particularly if the blade heels on both sides of the material, the blade may require
tensioning. If the blade must be re
