2.Set the saw blade on the “0” degree positive miter stop.
3.Use one end of a square (A) Fig. 29 on the table and the other end against the blade. Check to see if the blade is
0degrees to the table (Fig. 29).
4.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the locknut (B) Fig. 30, and turn the screw (C) until head of the screw (C) contacts the 0 degree bevel stop (D) when the blade is 90 degrees to the table. Tighten locknut (B). NOTE: The bevel cover has been removed in Fig. 30 for clarity.
5.Loosen the bevel lock handle and move the cutting arm all the way to the left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle.
6.Use a square (A) Fig. 31, to see if the blade is at 45 degrees to the table.
7.If not, loosen locknut (E) Fig. 32, and turn the screw (F) until the screw (F) contacts the 0 degree bevel stop when blade is 45 degrees to the table. Tighten locknut (E).

LOCKING CUTTINGHEAD IN THE DOWN POSITION
When transporting the saw, the cuttinghead should always be locked in the down position. This can be accomplished by lowering the cutting arm (A) Fig. 34, and pushing in cutting head lock knob (B) until it engages with hole in cutting arm. IMPORTANT: NEVER CARRY THE
TOOL BY THE SWITCH HANDLE. THIS ACTION MAY CAUSE MISALIGNMENT. ALWAYS LIFT THE TOOL BY THE BASE OR THE CARRYING HANDLE.
