Rotate the blade by hand and check the |
alignment at several points. |
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be |
parallel as shown in figure 20. |
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from |
the square as shown in figures 21 and 22, adjustments |
are needed. |
Loosen bevel lock knob. |
Adjust positive stop adjustment screw to bring saw blade |
into alignment with the square. See “Positive Stop Adjust- |
ment” in the Adjustment section. |
Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck |

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.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
