OPERATION

TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH

GULLET

See Figure 16.

The blade depth should be set so that the outer tips of the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface.

Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting handwheel counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handle clock- wise.

TO ADJUST THE BEVEL ANGLE

See Figure 17.

This table saw has a rack and pinion bevel control that allows you to make angled cuts from 90° to 45°.

NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.

To change the bevel angle:

nUnplug the saw.

nLoosen bevel control by turning bevel lock lever all the way to the left. If it needs to be further loosened, pull spring-loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it back to the right. Release bevel lock lever and allow it to seat in its original position. Turn it to the left again until loose.

nAdjust the bevel angle by pushing the wheel in toward the saw then turning it. Turning the wheel counterclockwise increases the angle of the blade, bringing it closer to 45°. Turning it clockwise decreases the angle, bringing the blade closer to 90°.

nTighten bevel control by turning bevel lock lever to the right. If it needs to be tightened more, pull the spring- loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it to the left. Then release bevel lock lever and allow it to return to its original position. Rotate to the right again. Repeat this process until bevel lock lever is securely tightened.
