4.Loosen the bevel lock handle. Move the cutting arm all the way to the left bevel position and tighten the bevel lock handle.
5.Use a combination square (A) Fig. 26 to see if the blade is at 45° to the table.
6.To adjust, loosen the locknut (E) Fig. 27, and turn the screw (F) until it contacts the casting (G). Tighten the locknut (E).
7.Check to see that the bevel pointer (P) Fig. 28 is pointing to the 45° mark on the bevel scale (S) Fig. 26. To adjust the bevel pointer (P) Fig. 28, loosen the screw (H) and adjust pointer (P). Tighten the screw (H) securely.
8.These positive stops enable you to rapidly position the blade at the 90° and 45° bevel angle to the table.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING
CUTTING HEAD MUST RETURN QUICKLY TO THE UP POSITION. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
The tension of the cuttinghead return spring was adjusted at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the "up" position after cutting.
To adjust the spring tension, loosen the locknut (A) Fig. 29 and turn the screw (B) (clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension). After adjustment, tighten the locknut (A).

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN CUTTINGHEAD ARM AND TRUNNION
After a long period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 29A, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, tighten the nut
(D). This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
