ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOPS
Adjustment to the bevel stops may be required if the
blade is not vertically square to the table when bevel
adjustment is set at 0
˚
or does not go to 45
˚
when bevel
is tilted to 45
˚,
maximum 45°.
Corrective adjustments can be made by adjusting the
bevel stop cams at each end of the bevel track as follows;
If the blade is not vertically square to the table, you must
adjust the 0
˚
bevel stop cam (FIGURE 33).
1. Unlock the bevel lock lever and position the height
adjustment wheel/bevel lock assembly to the right
in order to gain access to the 0
˚
bevel stop cam.
2. Loosen the cap screw that locks the 0
˚
bevel stop
cam in place (center of the cam). As shown in
FIGURE 33
3. Move the height adjustment wheel/bevel lock
assembly to the 0
˚
bevel stop cam making sure
that height adjustment wheel/bevel lock assembly
is in contact with the 0
˚
bevel stop cam. Check
blade squareness to table with combination square,
rotate bevel stop cam as needed until blade is
properly square to the table.
4. Tighten the cap screw that locks the bevel stop
cam in place. Recheck to verify that blade is square
to table. Readjust as needed.
If blade does not check at 45
˚
to the table when tilted to
the 45
˚
bevel stop cam, follow steps 1-4 by adjusting the
45
˚
bevel stop cam using the 45
˚
side of the combination
square (FIGURE 34).

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE BLADE HEIGHT
USING THE MITER GAUGE
For all through cuts, the top of the blade points should be
above the workpiece and the bottom of the blade gullets
are below the top surface of workpiece.
For non-through cuts, the top of the blade points should
be set to the depth of the cut.
To adjust the height of the blade, refer to FIGURE 35 and
do the following:
Make sure the bevel lock lever is in the locked (down)
position.
Adjust the blade height by turning the height adjustment
wheel. Clockwise will raise the blade and counterclockwise
lowers it.
There are two miter gauge grooves, on either side of
blade, maximum 30°. When making a 90
˚
cross cut, use
either groove. For beveled cross cut use the groove on
right so that the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge
(G) and hands
(FIGURE 36)
.
To adjust miter angle loosen the miter gauge lock knob.
Rotate the gauge until desired angle on scale is reached.
Tighten knob.
