W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

Blade Tilt Stops

The table saw features stop bolts that stop the blade exactly at 45° and 90° during blade adjustments. The stops have been set at the factory and should require no adjustments, unless you notice that your cuts are not accurate.

To set the 90° stop bolt, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Position the blade tilt to zero (see indicator on the front of the saw), and raise the blade several inches above the table.

3.Place a machinist’s square against the table and blade so it contacts the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.

If the blade is 90° to the table when the stop bolt contacts the underside of the table, go to To Set the 45° Stop Bolt.

If the blade is not 90° to the table, you will need to adjust the 90° stop bolt.

4.Tilt the blade to 20° to access the 90° stop bolt under the table.

5.Open the motor access cover, loosen the jam nut shown in Figures 65 & 66 with a 12mm wrench, adjust the stop bolt up or down, and repeat Steps 2-3until the stop bolt contacts the table when the blade is at 0°.

6.Tighten the jam nut.

To set the 45° stop bolt, do these steps:

1.Repeat Steps 1-3from the previous set of steps using a combo square set to 45°.

If the blade is 45° to the table when the stop bolt contacts the cabinet, go to To Adjust the Tilt Indicator Arrow.

If the blade is not 45° to the table go to Step 2.

2.Remove the blade height lock knob and handwheel.
