ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT 0 ° BEVEL
See Figures 30A - 30D.
This procedure squares the blade to the table at O" bevel (vertical) so the blade angle will be accurate. If the blade is r_otat 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 front of the fence. Lower the
blade with the elevating handwheel until it just clears the fronttable.
•Lock the followingcontrols:
bevel lock lever below the handle,
carriage lock knob on the left side, arm lock knob on top of the arm, and
yoke lock handle below the yoke, on the right.
•Stand a framing square on the table with the short leg pointingup against the saw blade and the long leg parallel to the fence. Place the square flat against the blade between two teeth.
•If boththe top and bottom of the saw blade aN flat against the square, no adjustment is needed.
•If the saw blade gaps at the top or bottom, remove the bevel index cap by removing the two phillips head screws (below the handle). You will see four socket head screws.
•Loosen the socket head screws with a 1/4 in. hex key. Rotate the motor slightlywhile holdingthe square against the saw blade and table top.
•Slightlytighten each of the four screws and recheck the blade and framing square.
ARMLOCKKNOB
•If there are no gaps, fully tighten each screw. If then is stilla gap, repeat the previoustwo steps.
•Check the bevel indicator on the yoke assembly near the handle. It should read 0% If it does not,
reset it by looseningthe screws and rotatingthe bevel index cap. Retighten the two screws.
•Loosen the carriage lock knob.
