1.Tilt the table to the 90 degree position as shown in Fig. 27, and tighten lock handle (A) Fig. 28. Place a square (H) Fig. 27, on the table and against the blade and check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
2.Tilt the table slightly as shown in Fig. 26, to expose lock nut (E) Fig. 27. Loosen lock nut and return table to the 90° position. With the lock handle (A) Fig. 28 loose, turn adjusting screw (F) Fig. 27, using the wrench (G) provided until the blade is 90 degrees to the table. Then tighten lock nut (E) Fig. 27, and lock handle (A) Fig. 28.
3.Tilt the table to the 45 degree position as shown in Fig. 28. Place a square (H) on the table and against the blade and check to see if the blade is 45 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
