clears the fronttable.

bevel lock lever below the handle,
carriage lock knob on the left side,
arm lock knob on top of the arm, and
yoke lock handle below the yoke, on the right.
Stand a framing square on the table with the short
leg pointingup against the saw blade and the long
leg parallel to the fence. Place the square flat
against the blade between two teeth.
If boththe top and bottom of the saw blade aN flat
against the square, no adjustment is needed.

key. Rotate the motor slightlywhile holdingthe
square against the saw blade and table top.
