The blade height adjustment handwheel and handwheel
lock knob are located on the front of the cabinet above
the blade bevel scale. To raise the saw blade, loosen
the handwheel lock knob (A) (counterclockwise) and
turn the handwheel (B) clockwise. When the saw blade
is at its desired height, tighten the handwheel lock knob
(clockwise) until it is securely tightened.
SEE FIG. 16.
To lower the saw blade, loosen the handwheel lock
knob (counterclockwise) and turn the handwheel
counterclockwise. When the saw blade is at its desired
height, tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise)
until it is securely tightened.
TILTING THE BLADE
The blade bevel handwheel and handwheel lock knob
are located on the left side of the cabinet. To increase
the saw blade bevel, loosen the handwheel lock knob
(counterclockwise) and turn the handwheel clockwise.
When the saw blade is at its desired degree, tighten the
handwheel lock knob (clockwise) until it is securely
tightened.
To return the saw blade bevel to zero degrees, loosen
the handwheel lock knob (counterclockwise) and turn
the handwheel counterclockwise. When the saw blade
is back to zero degrees it will come into contact with the
adjustable positive stop which will cause the blade to
stop. Tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise) until
it is securely tightened.
ADJUSTING BLADE BEVEL
POSITIVE STOPS
Fig. 17
1. To adjust blade to a 90-degree blade bevel positive
stop, raise the saw blade (A) to its highest position.
SEE FIG. 17.
2. Using a combination square (B) check that the
blade is 90 degrees to the saw table (zero degrees
on bevel scale).
3. If the blade will not tilt to 90 degrees, turn (counter-
clockwise) the set screw in the left miter slot of the
saw table until the blade can be positioned to 90
degrees.
4. Once the blade has been tilted to 90 degrees (con-
firm this using your square), tighten the bevel hand-
wheel lock knob, located on the side of the cabinet.
This will keep the blade from tilting further.
5. Turn the set screw (clockwise) until it comes in
contact with the positive stop.
6. Loosen the bevel handwheel lock knob located on
the side of the cabinet, and rotate bevel handwheel
until the blade is at 45 degrees to the saw table.
7. If the blade will not tilt to 45 degrees, turn (counter-
clockwise) the set screw located just to the right of
the right miter slot, until the blade can be positioned
to 45 degrees.

ADJUSTMENTS
To tilt the blade bevel to 45-degrees, loosen the hand-
wheel lock knob (counterclockwise) and turn the hand-

it will come into contact with the adjustable positive stop
which will cause the blade to stop. Tighten the hand-
wheel lock knob (clockwise) until it is securely tightened.
