Calibrating the Bevel Angle

SAFETY

For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table.

1.To check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position. Make a cut on a piece of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material.

2.Check the cut with an accurate square. The cut should be at exactly 90º.

3.Angle can also be checked by rotating one cut‑off piece 180º and holding the cut ends together.

If the cut is not exactly vertical,

the two pieces will form a slight angle.

4.If necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel Adjustment Screw on the right side under the Bevel Locking Lever.

5.Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to read 0º when the Saw Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw holding the Indicator in place, adjust it to be exactly over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw.

SETUP

Adjusting or Replacing the Kerf Board
