ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT O"BEVEL
See Figures 3OA -30D.
This procedure squares the blade to the table at O"
bevel (vertical) so the blade angle will be accurate. If
the blade is not at O°bevel, follow the steps below to
rotate slightly. You will need a framing square and a
1/4 in. hex key.
•Positionthe blade in frontof the fence. Lowerthe
bladewith the elevating handwheel untilit just
clears the front table.
•Lockthe following controls:
bevel lock lever below the handle,
carriage lockknob on the leftside,
arm lock knob on topof the arm,and
yoke lock handle belowthe yoke, on the right.
•Stand a framing square onthe table with the short
leg pointingup against the saw blade and the long
lag parallel to the fence. Place the square flat
against the blade between two teeth.
•If both the top and bottom of the sawblade are flat
against the square, no adjustment is needed.
•Ifthe saw blade gaps at the top or bottom, remove
the bevel indexcap byremoving the two phillips
head screws (below the handle). You willsee four
socket head screws.
•Loosen the socket head screwswith a 1/4 in. hex
key. Rotate the motorslightly while holding the
square against the saw blade and tabletop.
•Slightlytighten each ofthe four screws and recheck
the blade and framing square.
