power source before performing any assem-
bly, adjustment or repair.
Checking 45° Bevel Stop Setting
1. Hold the saw head assembly down and push
in the head assembly lock pin (item 43 –
page 12) to keep the saw in the DOWN po-
sition.
2. Slide the head assembly completely to the
back and engage the lock lever (item 27 –
page 11) by lifting up the finger tab.
3. Rotate the table to the 0° miter position.
4. Pull up the bevel lock lever to unlock. Move
the left sliding fence fully to the left.
5. Check the position of the bevel range selec-
tor knob; it should be at the "0-45° Left" po-
sition.
6. Tilt the saw assembly to the left (counter-
clockwise) until it hits the 45° stop – this is
where the saw's 45° stop is set to make a
45° left bevel cut.
7. Use a combination square to check that the
blade is 45° to the table. Remove the rule
blade from the combination square. Place
only the combination square's head on the
saw's table with its long flat side resting on
the table and its 45° side against the tilted
blade (see Figure 24).
8. Check that only the saw blade's plate (not
teeth) is touching the square's 45° side. If
the saw blade's plate is not in full contact
with the square's head 45° side, follow the
"Adjusting 45° Bevel Stop" procedures.
