3. Loosen the blade bevel lock handle and move the
blade () to the maximum vertical position, then
tighten the lock handle. (fig. U)
4. Place a combination square () on the table and
against the blade () to determine if the blade is 90°
to the table. (fig. U)
5. If the blade is not 90° to the table, loosen the two set
screws (4), located on the collar (5) underneath the
table saw with the 3 mm hex key, and back off the
