Blade Tilt Calibration
The blade tilt settings for this saw have been set at
the factory and should not require adjustment dur-
ing assembly. However, after prolonged use, or if
the saw does not cut accurate bevels, the settings
should be checked and adjusted accordingly.
Note: The tilt scale reads "0" when the blade is
90° to the table.

DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.
Raise blade as high as it will go, then tilt it
toward 90° until it stops and cannot be tilted
any more.
3.
Place a 90° square against table and blade
so it contacts blade evenly from bottom to
top, as shown in Figure 104. Make sure a
blade tooth does not obstruct placement of
square.

— If blade is 90° to table, then no adjust-
ments are necessary.
Make sure tilt indi-
cator arrow shown in Figure 105 points to
0° mark on scale. Adjust position by loos-
ening Phillips head screws, moving indica-
tor with fingers, then tightening screws.
— If blade is not 90° to table, you will need to
adjust 90° stop nuts. Proceed to Step 4.

6.
Tilt blade to about 5° so there is room for stop
nuts to move.
7.
Loosen stop nuts and adjust according to
how far off blade was from 90°. Recheck
blade and repeat adjustment as necessary
until blade stops at 90°, then tighten stop nuts
against each other and replace motor cover.
Note: Rotating stop nuts clockwise adjusts
blade further to right; rotating them counter-
clockwise adjusts blade to left.
