Blade.Tilt.Calibration
The blade tilt settings for this saw have been set at
the factory and should not require adjustment during
assembly. However, after prolonged use, or if the saw
does not cut accurate bevels, the settings should be
checked and adjusted accordingly.
Note: The tilt scale reads "0" when the blade is 90° to the
table.

Setting 90° Stop
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Raise blade as high as it will go, then tilt it toward
90° until it stops and cannot be tilted any more.
3. Place a 90° square against table and blade so it
contacts blade evenly from bottom to top, as shown
in Figure.98. Make sure a blade tooth does not
obstruct placement of square.
— If blade is 90° to table, then no adjustments are
necessary. Make sure tilt indicator arrow shown in
Figure.99 points to 0° mark on scale. Adjust posi-
tion by loosening Phillips head screws, moving indi-
cator with your fingers, then tightening screws.
— If blade is not 90° to table, you will need to adjust
90° stop nuts. Proceed to Step.4.
