SQUARING TABLE TO THE BLADE

See Figures 9 and 10.

Loosen the hold down foot lock knob and move hold down rod all the way up. Tighten knob.

Loosen the table lock knob and move the table untit it is approximately perpendicular, or at right angle to the blade.

Place a small square on the table next to the blade to check if the table is 90 degrees to the blade. If adjustment is needed, raise or lower the table until table is approximately go degrees to the blade and securely tighten the table lock knob.

Loosen the screw holding the scale indicator, move indicator to the 0 degree mark and se- curely tighten screw. Remember, the bevel scale is a convenient guide but should not be relied upon for precision. Make practice cuts on scrap materiat to determine if your angle settings are correct.

Adjust the hold down foot to desired position and securely tighten the hold clown foot knob.

SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 10, 11 and 12.

A bevel scale is provided under the work table as a convenient guide for setting the approximate table angle for bevel cutting. When greater precision is required, make practice cuts on scrap material and adjust the table as necessary for your requirements. An adjustable zero degree stop is provided to quickly return the table to the zero degree setting.

Loosen the table lock knob and push down on the right side of the table. If the table stops at 0 °, the zero degree stop is properly set. If the table stops somewhere other than zero, then adjust the zero degree stop.

To access the zero degree stop, loosen the table lock knob, and tilt the table with the right side all the way down. Just under the front of the saw table is the zero degree stop. See Figure 1I. Loosen the hex nut and rotate the hex bolt to raise or lower the bolt as needed to adjust the zero degree stop. Be sure to check to see that the table is square to the blade.

Now, by returning the table to the zero position, the zero degree stop provides a quick reference to the preset position.
