ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT 0 ° BEVEL

See Figures 30A - 30D,

This procedure squares the blade to the table at 0° bevel (vertical) so the blade angle will be accurate. If the blade is not at 0° bevel, follow the steps below to rotate slightly, You will need a framing square and a 1/4 in, hex key,

•Position the blade in front of the fence. Lower the

blade with the elevating handwheel until it just clears the front table.

•Lock the following controls:

bevel lock lever below the handle, carriage lock knob on the left side, arm lock knob on top of the arm, and

yoke lock handle below the yoke, on the right.

•Stand a framing square on the table with the short leg pointing up against the saw blade and the long leg parallel to the fence, Place the square flat against the blade between two teeth.

•If both the top and bottom of the saw blade are flat against the square, no adjustment is needed,

•If the saw blade gaps at the top or bottom, remove the bevel index cap by removing the two phillips

head screws (below the handle), You will see four socket head screws,

•Loosen the socket head screws with a 1/4 in. hex key, Rotate the motor slightly while holding the square against the saw blade and table top,

•Slightly tighten each of the four screws and recheck the blade and framing square,

•If there are no gaps, fully tighten each screw, If there is still a gap, repeat the previous two steps.

•Check the bevel indicator on the yoke assembly near the handle, It should read 0°. If it does not, reset it by loosening the screws and rotating the bevel index cap, Retighten the two screws,

•Loosen the carriage lock knob,
