Check the 45 ° setting. Tilt the blade with the bevel handwheel as far as it will go to the left. Place the square against the blade (be sure the square is not against one of the saw teeth). If the blade is not at 45 °, unscrew the 45 ° stop screw (right of blade), turn the handwheel until the blade is correct, and tighten the screw. Recheck and repeat if neces- sary.

Check that the scale indicator is at 45 °.

If not, loosen the scale indicator with a screwdriver, adjust it within the slot, and retighten the screw.

Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin with a 8 mm wrench.

Place a 90° square against the miter gage rod and the miter gage base.

If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod, and tighten the knob.

Adjust the 0° stop screw until it rests against the stop pin.

Adjust the plus and minus 45 ° stop screws using a 45 ° triangle and the steps above.
