3.Turn the handwheel until the blade reaches 1Ú4" above the workpiece.

4.Retighten the locking knob.

2.Set your blade angle at zero, as shown on the angle indicator on the front of the saw, and raise the blade several inches above the table.

3.Place a machinistÕs square flat on the table and against the side the blade. The square should contact the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure that a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.
