The pointer on the table tilt scale must be calibrated in order for the scale reading to be accurate.

To calibrate the pointer on the table tilt scale:

1.Make sure that the blade is tensioned and is tracking correctly, and that the table is 90˚ to the blade.

2.Loosen the screw on the pointer (Figure 28), but do not remove it.

3.Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on the table tilt scale.

4.Tighten the screw on the pointer so that the pointer is locked in place.
