•If the blade was too close to the miter gage groove, back the bracket away with the block of wood and hammer.
•Tighten the screws, raise the blade and recheck.
•Repeat until blade is parallel to miter gage groove.
•If the blade is not parallel, adjust the front table bracket. Tilt the blade to 45 ° with the blade lock handle and bevel handwheel.
•From the back of the saw, loosen the bolts holding the front table bracket, as well as the rear table bracket.
•Reposition the blade to 90° with the bevel hand- wheel and blade lock handle.
•Lower the blade and move the brackets as needed. Retighten all bracket screws.
•Raise the blade and recheck. Repeat until the blade is parallel to the miter gage groove.
•Place the throat plate in the opening and push it toward the rear of saw base to engage the spring clip.
Note: The keyslot in the throat plate will drop over the front screw.

SETTING THE BEVEL STOPS AND INDICATOR
See Figures 41 and 42.
_ 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.
The bevel scale should show 0° when the blade is set vertical at 90° to table, and 45° when blade is at 45 ° tilt.
•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.
