ALIGNING THE DEGREE SCALE POINTER

1. Loosen the table lock knob, and move the table until it is
approximately perpendicular, or at a right angle to the blade.
2. Place a small square on the table next to the blade as
shown to check if the table is 90˚ to the blade. If adjustment
is needed, raise or lower the table until table is approxi-
mately 90˚ to the blade and securely tighten the table lock
knob.
3. Loosen the screw holding the degree scale pointer as
shown, move pointer to the 0˚ mark and securely tighten
screw. Remember, the degree scale is a convenient guide
but should not be relied upon for precision. make practice
cuts in scrap pieces of wood to determine if your angle set-
tings are correct.
