TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 16.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer tips of the
blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8
in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the
top surface.
Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting handwheel
counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handle clock-
wise.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL ANGLE
See Figure 17.
This table saw has a rack and pinion bevel control that allows
you to make angled cuts from 90° to 45°.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45°
bevel.
To change the bevel angle:
n Unplug the saw.
n Loosen bevel control by tur ning bevel lock lever all the
way to the left. If it needs to be further loosened, pull
spring-loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it back to
the right. Release bevel lock lever and allow it to seat in
its original position. Turn it to the left again until loose.
n Adjust the bevel angle by pushing the wheel in toward the
saw then turning it. Turning the wheel counterclockwise
increases the angle of the blade, bringing it closer to 45°.
Turning it clockwise decreases the angle, bringing the
blade closer to 90°.
n Tighten bevel control by turning bevel lock lever to the
right. If it needs to be tightened more, pull the spring-
loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it to the left. Then
release bevel lock lever and allow it to return to its original
position. Rotate to the right again. Repeat this process
until bevel lock lever is securely tightened.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 18.
��If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
