0° Bevel Stop
Checking 0° Bevel Stop Setting
1. Hold the saw head assembly (Fig. 19, 28)
down and push in the head assembly lock
pin (Fig. 21, 8) to keep the saw in the DOWN
position.
2. Slide the saw head assembly (Fig. 19, 28)
completely to the back and engage the slide
rail lock knob (7) by tightening the knob to
the right (clockwise).
3. Rotate the table to the 0° miter position.
4. Rotate the bevel lock knob (34) clockwise to
unlock the head assembly.
5. Tilt the saw head assembly (28) to the left
(counterclockwise), then rotate to the right
(clockwise) until you feel the stop in the ver-
tical position. This is where the saw is cur-
rently set for 0° bevel cut.
6. Use a combination square (Fig. 20) to check
that the blade is 90° (square) to the table
(22). Place the square's ruler edge against
the table and slide it to contact the blade
(25) with the vertical side of the square's
head.

7. Check that the saw blade's plate (25),
not the saw blade's teeth, is touching the
square's 90° side. If the saw blade's plate
is not in full contact with the square's body
90° side, see "Adjusting 0° Bevel Stop (Blade
90° to Table)."
