If it is not, loosen screw (B) a few turns and move the blade tilting mechanism until the blade measures 90 degrees to the table. Then tighten blade tilting lock handle and tighten screw (B) until it bottoms. NOTE: CHECK TO SEE IF THE
TILT INDICATOR POINTER POINTS TO THE ZERO MARK ON THE SCALE. ADJUST IF NECESSARY.

6.Loosen the blade tilting lock handle, move the blade tilting mechanism as far as possible to the right and tighten the blade tilting lock handle.
7.Place a square (A) Fig. 21, on the table with one end of the square against the blade as shown, and check to see if the blade is at 45 degrees to the table. If it is not, loosen screw (C) a few turns and move the blade tilting mechanism until the blade is at 45 degrees to the table. Then tighten blade tilting lock handle and tighten screw
