TO SET BLADE AT 0° OR 45°
See Figure 40.
The angle settings of your saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require setting during assembly. After extensive use, it may need to be checked.
Raise the blade and the blade guard.
If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°), loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.
Place a framing square beside the blade on the left. Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever and retighten the adjustment bolt.
Adjust the bevel indicator to zero.
If the blade is not an exact 45°, loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.
Turn the bevel handle until the bottom of the blade has moved completely to the left side of the slot. Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever.
If the blade is not an exact 45°, loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.
Adjust the bevel indicator to 45°.
