ASSEMBLY
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 38.
The saw blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the saw blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the workpiece.
Loosen the blade height lock knob by turning counter- clockwise.
Raise the saw blade by turning the height adjusting handwheel clockwise or lower the saw blade by turning the height adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.
Once the desired saw blade height is achieved, lock the blade height lock knob by turning it clockwise.
TO ADJUST BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 39.
The saw blade angle is set by turning the bevel adjusting handwheel. Loosen the bevel lock lever then turn the bevel adjusting handwheel. Turning the handwheel clockwise will tilt the saw blade to the left; turning the handwheel counterclockwise will tilt the saw blade to the right.
When the saw blade is tilted to the left as far as it will go, the blade should be at a 45˚ angle to the saw table and the bevel indicator should point to 45˚.
When the saw blade is tilted to the right as far as it will go, the blade should be at 90˚ to the saw table and the bevel indicator should point to 0˚.
NOTE: When the saw blade is 90˚ to the saw table, the saw blade should be square with the saw table. (See the Adjustments section of this manual to square the saw blade.)
Retighten the bevel lock lever.
NOTE: When locked, the bevel lock lever will keep the bevel adjusting handwheel locked securely in place to maintain blade angle.
