ADJUSTMENTS
TO SET THE BEVEL INDICATOR AND BEVEL
STOPS AT 0˚ AND 45˚
See Figures 67 - 71.
To Check for Squareness, 90˚ Position:
Unplug the saw and remove the switch key.
Raise the blade to a 3 in. depth of cut.
Push the bevel lock lever counterclockwise to loosen the
tilt clamp screw.
NOTE:
Bevel lock lever is spring loaded and must be
pushed inward for disengagement whenever it becomes
necessary to obtain a new grip on the screw head. Always
position the bevel lock lever downward to prevent binding
when tilting the saw blade.
Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.
Saw blade should now be square with the saw table and
the bevel indicator should point to 0°.
Place a combination square against the saw blade.
If the saw blade is not square to the saw table, the 90°
top screw needs to be adjusted.
NOTE:
From a position at the front of the saw, the 90°
stop screw is on the left side of the throat plate.
Using a 3/16 in. hex key, unscrew the 90° stop screw until
it is even with the top of the saw table.
Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the saw blade
is square with the saw table.
Screw the 90° stop screw until the saw blade starts
to move. Check again for squareness and readjust if
needed.
To Check for Squareness, 45˚ Position:
Tilt the saw blade as far to the left as it will go.
Place an accurate square against the saw blade checking
for the 45˚ angle.
If the angle of the saw blade is not correct, the 45° stop
screw needs to be adjusted.
NOTE:
From a position at the front of the saw, the 45°
stop screw is on the left side of the throat plate.
Using a 3/16 in. hex key, unscrew the 45° stop screw until
it is even with the top of the saw table.
Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the saw blade
is square with the saw table.
Screw the 45° stop screw until the saw blade starts
to move. Check again for squareness and readjust if
needed.
To Set the Bevel Indicator:
With the saw blade at 90°, the bevel indicator should be
pointing to 0°.
If not, remove the height adjusting handwheel.
Loosen the screw and position the bevel indicator to point
to 0°. Retighten screw.
