nPull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.

nLift the miter table clamp.

nRotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned at 0°.

nPush the miter table clamp back down.

nLoosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel (blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.

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.
