Checking 0° Bevel Stop Setting

1.Hold the saw head assembly down and push in the head assembly lock pin (item 43 – page 9) to keep the saw in the DOWN position.

2.Slide the head assembly completely to the back and engage the lock lever (item 27 – page 9) by lifting up the finger tab.

3.Rotate the table to the 0° miter position.

4.Pull up the bevel lock lever to loosen.

5.Check the position of the bevel range selector knob; it should be at the “0-45° Left” position.

6.Tilt the saw assembly to the left (counterclockwise), then rotate to the right (clockwise) until it hits the stop in the vertical position – this is where the saw is currently set to make a 0° cut.

7.Push down the bevel lock lever to lock the angle position.

8.Use a combination square to check that the blade is 90° (square) to the table. Place the square’s ruler edge against the table and slide it to contact the blade with the vertical side of the square’s head (see Figure 22).

9.Check that the saw blade’s plate (not teeth) is touching the square’s 90° side. If the saw blade’s plate is not in full contact with the square’s body 90° side, follow the “Adjusting 0° Bevel Stop” procedures.
