1.Lower blade until it just clears front table. Lock miter arm lock lever in the 0° miter position. Tighten yoke lock handle, carriage lock knob and bevel lock lever.

Rip

2. Place a framing square on the table with Fence the short leg against the saw blade and long

leg parallel to fence. Do not allow the square to rest against a "set-out" tooth; it must rest flat against the blade side.

3.If the saw blade is square with the table top (no visible gap appears between the saw blade and square) no adjustment is required. Set bevel indicator to 0° reading. If the square does not touch the saw blade as shown (with square leg held firmly against the table top), perform the following adjust- ments:
