TO SET THE BEVEL INDICATOR AND BEVEL STOPS AT 0˚ AND 45˚

See Figures 67 - 71.

To Check for Squareness, 90˚ Position:

Unplug the saw and remove the switch key.

Raise the blade to a 3 in. depth of cut.

Push the bevel lock lever counterclockwise to loosen the tilt clamp screw.

NOTE: Bevel lock lever is spring loaded and must be pushed inward for disengagement whenever it becomes necessary to obtain a new grip on the screw head. Always position the bevel lock lever downward to prevent binding when tilting the saw blade.

Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise. Saw blade should now be square with the saw table and the bevel indicator should point to 0°.

Place a combination square against the saw blade.

If the saw blade is not square to the saw table, the 90° top screw needs to be adjusted.

NOTE: From a position at the front of the saw, the 90° stop screw is on the left side of the throat plate.

Using a 3/16 in. hex key, unscrew the 90° stop screw until it is even with the top of the saw table.

Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the saw blade is square with the saw table.

Screw the 90° stop screw until the saw blade starts to move. Check again for squareness and readjust if needed.

To Check for Squareness, 45˚ Position:

Tilt the saw blade as far to the left as it will go.

Place an accurate square against the saw blade checking for the 45˚ angle.

If the angle of the saw blade is not correct, the 45° stop screw needs to be adjusted.

NOTE: From a position at the front of the saw, the 45° stop screw is on the left side of the throat plate.

Using a 3/16 in. hex key, unscrew the 45° stop screw until it is even with the top of the saw table.

Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the saw blade is square with the saw table.

Screw the 45° stop screw until the saw blade starts to move. Check again for squareness and readjust if needed.

To Set the Bevel Indicator:

With the saw blade at 90°, the bevel indicator should be pointing to 0°.

If not, remove the height adjusting handwheel.

Loosen the screw and position the bevel indicator to point to 0°. Retighten screw.
