45° Blade Alignment Check
1. Rotate table to 0° position and lock in place.
2. Make sure head assembly is pushed back
fully against stop and slide rail lock knob
is tightened.
3. Lower head assembly. Lock in place.
4. Make sure the 33.9º bevel stop screw jam
nut is in the passive position, out of line with
the 90º and 45º bevel stop screw jam nuts.
5. Loosen bevel lock handle and tilt the head
assembly to 45°bevel. Check the 45°bevel
stop. The bevel indicator should be on the
45°mark, the 45°bevel stop should be in full
contact with the 45° bevel stop screw. Place
the combination square on the table and
press it against the blade. The blade should
contact the full length of the combination
square (Figure 9).
6. If the blade is not 45° to the table, adjust
45°bevel stop.
45° Blade Alignment Adjustment
1. Lower the 45°bevel stop screw jam nut using
12mm or adjustable wrench (Figure 10).
2. Loosen bevel lock handle.
3. Lower the saw onto the 45º stop.
4. Push combination square against the blade.
5. Adjust the 45º bevel stop until the blade
makes contact with the full length of the
square. Tighten 45° jam nut (Figure 10).
6. Check that bevel indicator is pointing to the
45° mark on the bevel scale (see Figure 10).
If bevel indicator is not aligned with the 45°
mark, first recheck the blade squareness to
the table and 0° bevel indicator alignment.
Then, repeat the 45° blade alignment and
make appropriate adjustments.
