TO SET THE BLADE AT 0 ° AND 45 °
See Figures 50 - 51.
The angle settings of the saw have been set at the factory
and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require set-
ting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need
to be checked.
• Unplug the saw.
• Raise the blade,
• Remove the blade guard assembly.
If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°}:
• Unlock the bevel locking lever.
• Loosen the 0° adjustment screw.
• Place the combination square against blade. Make sure
square is not touching the tip of one of the saw teeth.
• Lock the bevel locking lever.
• Tighten the adjustment screw. Check again for
squareness and continue to adjust if needed.
If the blade is not an exact 45°:
• Unlock the bevel locking lever.
• Loosen the 45 ° adjustment screw.
• Place the combination square against blade. Make sure
square is not touching the tip of one of the saw teeth.
• Lock the bevel locking lever.
• Tighten the adjustment screw. Check again for
squareness and continue to adjust if needed.
• If needed, adjust the bevel indicator to 45 °.
• Make a test cut.
The adjustment screws must be below the saw table
surface so the workpiece doesn't catch on uneven edges.
If unable to make this adjustment, take the product to an
authorized service center.
