45° Bevel Stop – Adjustment
Procedure
CHECKING 45° BEVEL STOP SETTING
1.
Hold the saw head assembly down and
push in the head assembly lock pin (item
43
– page 12) to keep the saw in the
DOWN position.
2.
Slide the head assembly completely to
the back and engage the lock lever (item
27
– page 12) by lifting up the finger tab.
3.
Rotate the table to the 0° miter position.
4.
Pull up the bevel lock lever to unlock.
Move the left sliding fence fully to the
left.
5.
Check the position of the bevel range se-
lector knob; it should be at the “0-45°
Left” position.
6.
Tilt the saw assembly to the left
(counter-clockwise) until it hits the 45°
stop – this is where the saw’s 45° stop
is set to make a 45° left bevel cut.
7.
Use a combination square to check that
the blade is 45° to the table. Remove the
rule blade from the combination square.
Place only the combination square’s
head on the saw’s table with its long flat
side resting on the table and its 45° side
against the tilted blade (see Fig. 21).
8.
Check that only the saw blade’s plate
(not teeth) is touching the square’s 45°
