To calibrate the blade tilt indicator:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the hex nut on the back of the pointer (Figure 23).

3.Using a 90° square as a gauge, adjust the blade so it is square to the table, then tighten the blade tilt handles.

4.Double check that the blade tilt did not change when you tightened the tilt lock handles.

—If the blade tilt did not change, continue to Step 5.

—If the blade tilt did change, repeat Steps 3 & 4.

5.Rotate the blade tilt indicator directly over the "0" mark on the tilt scale.

6.Tighten the hex nut on the back of the pointer, making sure that the indicator does not move during tightening.
