STEP FIVE--SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO
Figure 15
THE TABLE TOP
1. Place the edge of a framing square on the table top and against the saw blade as shown in figure 15.
2. When the saw blade is square to the table top, no light will be visible between the square and face of saw blade. Do not allow the square to rest against a tooth of the saw. If light is visible between the square and face of saw blade (with square leg held firm against the table top), perform the following adjustments:
a. Loosen the bevel lock knob just slightly and, with a
head screws that secure the handle to the yoke. (See
figure 16.) A screw is located at each side of the swivel index knob.
b. While holding the motor with one hand and the square with the other hand, tilt the motor until saw blade is square with table top. Then, while holding the square firmly against the saw blade and table top, tighten the bevel lock knob to hold motor and blade in position.
