ELEVATION LOCK

When correctly adjusted, the elevation mechanism is locked

securely when the ELEVATION LOCK KNOB is approx. one inch from the front of the saw.

After extended use, the ELEVATION LOCK SCREW and NUT may wear, which will cause the lock to slip.

2.Remove retaining screw, using a 3/8 in. wrench.

4.If retaining screw is in last hole as shown, lift LOCK

WRENCH off of LOCK NUT and reposition it by rotating it CLOCKWISE.
