ADJUSTING 90° AND 45°
BEVEL STOPS
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2.Loosen bevel lock handle (H) Fig. 29, and move the cutting arm all the way to the right, then tighten the bevel lock handle.
3.Using a square (A) Fig. 28, place one end of the square on the table and the other end against the blade. Check to see if the blade is at 90° to the table, as shown in Fig. 28.
4.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (B) Fig. 29, and turn screw (C) until head of screw (C) con- tacts casting (D) when blade is 90° to the table. Then tighten locknut (B).
5.Loosen bevel lock handle (H) Fig. 29, and move the cutting arm all the way to the left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle.
6.Using a combination square (A) Fig. 30, check to see if the blade is at 45° to the table, as shown.
7.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (E) Fig. 31, and turn screw (F) until screw (F) contacts cast- ing (G) when blade is 45° to the table. Then tighten lock- nut (E).
8.These positive stops enable you to rapidly position the blade at the 90° (0° on scale) and 45° bevel angle to the table.

ADJUSTING DOWNWARD
TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2.The downward travel of the saw blade can be limit- ed to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is made by loosening locknut (A) Fig. 32, and turning adjusting screw (B) in or out. Then tighten locknut (A).
3.When making this adjustment, MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE and lower the blade as far as possible as shown in Fig. 32. Rotate the blade by hand to make cer- tain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces and adjust if necessary.
