MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the off (
) position. Failure to head this warning could result in serious personal injury.
TO SET BLADE AT 0° OR 45°
See Figure 45.
The angle settings of your saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require setting during assembly. After extensive use, it may need to be checked.
■Push the bevel locking lever to the right. Turn the blade adjusting handle to angle the blade. Use a combination square to check squareness between the blade and saw table.
■If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0° ), loosen the lock nut on the 0° stop bolt inside the cabinet, position the blade, adjust the stop bolt, then retighten lock nut. See Figure 45, insert. If the bevel indicator is not at zero, adjust it with the two screws above the slot, beside the blade adjusting handle.
■Turn the blade adjusting handle until the bottom of the blade has moved completely to the left side of the slot. Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever to the left.
■If the blade is not an exact 45° , loosen the lock nut on the 45° stop bolt inside the cabinet, position the blade, adjust the stop bolt, then retighten lock nut. See Figure 45, insert.
■Make a test cut.
