W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife
Blade Tilt Stops
The table saw features stop bolts that stop the blade exactly at 45° and 90° during blade adjustments. The stops have been set at the factory and should require no adjustments, unless you notice that your cuts are not accurate.
To set the 90° stop bolt, do these steps:
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Position the blade tilt to zero (see indicator on the front of the saw), and raise the blade several inches above the table.
3.Place a machinist’s square against the table and blade so it contacts the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.
—If the blade is 90° to the table when the stop bolt contacts the underside of the table, go to To Set the 45° Stop Bolt.
—If the blade is not 90° to the table, you will need to adjust the 90° stop bolt.
4.Tilt the blade to 20° to access the 90° stop bolt under the table.
5.Open the motor access cover, loosen the jam nut shown in Figures 65 & 66 with a 12mm wrench, adjust the stop bolt up or down, and repeat Steps
6.Tighten the jam nut.
To set the 45° stop bolt, do these steps:
