_ WARNING: Make sure the switch is off, the switch key is removed, and your saw is

unplugged. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting, resulting in serious personal injury.

Raise the blade all the way up by turning the height handwheel. Lift the blade guard.

Loosen bevel lock handle and turn the bevel handwheel clockwise to tilt the blade. Reverse it and turn the handwheel counterclockwise until it stops.

Check the blade angle with a combination square.

Don'tlet the square touch a blade tooth. The blade should be at 90 ° and the scale indicator at 0°.

Note: The scale indicator is the plastic plate on the scale at the front of the cabinet.

If the scale indicator does not point to 0°, loosen the scale indicator with a screwdriver, adjust it within the slot, and retighten the screw.

If the blade angle is wrong, adjust the 90° stop screw (left of the blade, looking from the front). Start by turning the 90° stop screw three or four turns with a 4 mm hex key.
