See Figures 25 - 28.

n Place a combination square against the miter table and the flat part of saw blade.

NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

nRotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.

n The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 25.

n If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 26 and 27, adjustments are needed.

n Using a 10 mm wrench or adjustable wrench, loosen the lock nut securing positive stop adjustment screw. Also loosen bevel lock knob.

n Adjust positive stop adjustment screw to bring saw blade into alignment with the square. See Figure 28.

n Retighten bevel lock knob. Next, retighten lock nut securing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck blade-to-table alignment.

NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0° and 45° angles.
