Blade Tilt Calibration

The blade tilt is calibrated at the factory, but can be recalibrated if it changes during the life of the machine. The 0° stop positions the blade square to the table.

0° Stop

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Move the blade tilt to 0°, and raise the main blade as high as it will go.

3.Use a machinist's square to check if the blade is square to the table.

—If the blade is not square to the table, loosen the two set screws that secure the 0˚ tilt stop nut shown in Figure 116.

5.Tighten the two set screws in the stop nut.

6.Check the blade tilt pointer mechanism to ensure that it points to 0°.

—If the blade tilt pointer shows an incorrect tilt, adjust it by loosening the cap screws, rotating the pointer until it points to 0°, then tightening the cap screws.
