Checking Blade Tilt, or Squareness
of Blade to Table
When the bevel pointer is pointing directly
to the “0” mark on the bevel scale, the
sawblade should make a square cut 90°
to the table.
WARNING: For your own safety,
turn switch “OFF” and remove
plug from power source outlet.
To check for squareness, 90° position:
1. Raise blade to 3" depth of cut.
2. Operate the tilt lock handle (counter-
clockwise) to loosen the tilt clamp
screw.
NOTE: Handle is spring loaded for
engagement with screw head - must be
pushed inward for disengagement
whenever necessary to obtain a new
grip on screw head. Always position
handle in downward position to prevent
binding when tilting the blade.
3. Rotate tilt handwheel clockwise a few
turns to tilt blade. Now, rotate hand-
wheel counterclockwise until it stops.
Blade should now be square with table
and pointer should point to “0”.
4. Place the square against blade. Make
sure square is not touching the tip of
one of the saw teeth.
A. If blade is square to table
1. Check pointer. If pointer does not
point to the “0” mark on the bevel
scale.
a. Remove elevation handwheel.
b. For gross adjustments bend the
pointer to align with the zero
mark. For fine adjustments
loosen the screw and adjust the
pointer using a medium screw-
driver.
c. Install elevation handwheel.
