3.Turn the handwheel until the blade reaches 1Ú4" above the workpiece.

4.Retighten the locking knob.

5.Recheck your blade height with the work- piece and re-adjust, if necessary.

Blade Tilt

1.Disconnect the table saw from the power source.

2.Set your blade angle at zero, as shown on the angle indicator on the front of the saw, and raise the blade several inches above the table.

3.Place a machinistÕs square flat on the table and against the side the blade. The square should contact the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure that a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.

4.Adjust the handwheel until the square is flush with the blade. Loosen the tilt indicator arrow, set to zero, and retighten. Loosen and adjust the stop bolt on the left side of the front trunnion (Figure 20) to allow a 90¡ stop point.

5.Repeat Steps 2-4for setting the blade to 45¡ and adjust the 45¡ stop bolt on the right side of the front trunnion as shown in Figure 20. Use the 45¡ side of a combo square or a bevel gauge set at 45¡.
