Preventive Maintenance - General International MS3005 Setup And Operation Manual

ADJUSTMENT OF BEVEL ANGLE
1. at the rear of the saw, on the right side of where the arm pivots is a hex
socket head depth setting screw that limits the 45° bevel.
2. Loosen the locking nut and adjust the screw with a 5 mm hex key to
adjust the stop point to be correct at 45 degrees of bevel.
3. Check the settings with a square against the blade.
4. re-tighten the locking nut once the angles are correct.
Once the bevel is correct, the bevel degree indicator at the back can be
adjusted to indicate the exact angle in the following way:
1. Loosen the cross head screw and re-set the indicator to read exactly 0
degrees when the vertical stop is contacted.
2. re-tighten the screw.
