ADJUSTING THE 90 ° AND 45° POSiTiVE STOPS (Fig. JJ, JJ=l) Your saw has positive stops that will quickly position the saw blade at 90 ° and 45° to the table. Make adjustments only if necessary.
90° Stop
1.Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2.Raise the blade to the maximum elevation.
3.Loosen the blade bevel lock handle and move the blade to the maximum
vertical position and tighten the bevel lock handle.
4.Place a combination square on the
table and against the blade (1) to determine if the blade is 90 ° to the
table. (Fig. Z)
5.If the blade is not 90° to the table,
loosen or tighten (depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the degrees) the hex bolt
(3) with a 5 mm hex wrench until you achieve 90°. (Fig.
6.Loosen the bevel lock handle and reset the blade at the maximum
vertical position, then tighten the bevel lock handle.
7.Check again to see if the blade is 90° to the table. If not, repeat step 5.
8.Lastly, check the bevel angle scale. If the pointer does not read 90°, loosen the screw holding the pointer and move the pointer so it is accurate at 0° and retighten the pointer screw.

45° Stop
1.Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2.Raise the blade to the maximum elevation.
3.Loosen the blade bevel lock handle and move the blade to the maximum
bevel position (45°)and tighten the bevel lock handle.
4.Place a combination square on the table and against the blade (2) to determine if the blade is 45° to the table. (Fig. Z)
5.If the blade is not 45° to the table, loosen or tighten (depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the degrees) the hex bolt
(4)with a 5 mm hex wrench until you achieve 45 °. (Fig. Z-l)
6.Loosen the bevel lock handle and reset the blade at the maximum
bevel position (45°), then tighten the bevel lock handle.
7.Check again to see if the blade is 45° to the table. If not, repeat step 5.
