45° and 90° Stops
The Model G1022 Series is equipped with posi- tive stops at 45¡ and 90¡. When properly adjust- ed, they provide precise and dependable guides for bevel adjustment. To set these stops:
1.Unplug the machine! Raise the saw blade to its maximum height by turning the front handwheel clockwise.
2.Set the saw blade at 90¡ to the table by turn- ing the handwheel at the side of the machine as far as it will go. Important: Do not force the handwheels when setting the blade height or bevel. If the handwheels offer resis- tance, do not continue turning until you determine the source of the resistance.
3.Once your blade is set at 90¡ to the table, place a machinist's square or speed square against the blade and table surface, as shown in Figure 46.

4.With the square in place, inspect for variation between the blade and square.
5.If a gap exists at either the top or the bottom of the square, loosen lock nut (A) and adjust- ment bolt (B) indicated in Figure 47.

6.Turn the handwheel until the blade and square are flush from top to bottom.
7.Snug the adjustment screw and tighten the lock nut. Recheck the blade with the square to ensure that you have not over tightened the screw.
8.Using the side handwheel, adjust the blade bevel until you hit the 45¡ positive stop. Check the bevel with your speed square or an adjustable square set to 45¡.
9.If variations exist, loosen the lock nut (C) and adjust the stop bolt (D) (Figure 47) until your blade and square match.
10.Tighten the lock nut and recheck the bevel by adjusting the blade back to 90¡, then back to 45¡. Correct again, if necessary.
!Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
