MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the off (
) position. Failure to head this warning could result in serious personal injury.
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.
If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°), loosen the nuts on the stop bolt inside the cabinet, position the blade, adjust the stop bolt, then retighten nut. See Figure 40, insert.
Turn the blade adjusting 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 nuts on the stop bolt inside the cabinet, position the blade, adjust the stop bolt, then retighten lock nut. See Figure 40, insert.
Make a test cut.
TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE TO THE BLADE

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the off ( 
) position. Failure to head this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Raise the locking handle to permit the rip fence to be moved.
Place a framing square beside the blade and move the rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip scale.
Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180° to check the other side.
If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two screws on the fence and align it.
Retighten the two screws.
Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process.
WARNING:
Before plugging the saw back in to make test cuts, make sure the switch is in the off (
) position and the blade guard is in place. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
