Blade Tilt Calibration - Grizzly G0771 Owner's Manual

Blade Tilt Calibration

The blade tilt settings for this saw have been set at
the factory and should not require adjustment dur-
ing 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 111. Make sure a
blade tooth does not obstruct placement of
square.

mark on scale. Adjust position by loosening
Phillips head screws, moving indicator with
your fingers, then tightening screws.

6.
Tilt blade to about 5° so there is room for stop
nuts to move.
7.
Loosen stop nuts and adjust according to
how far off blade was from 90°. Recheck
blade and repeat adjustment as necessary
until blade stops at 90°, then tighten stop nuts
against each other and replace motor cover.
Note: Turning stop nuts clockwise adjusts
blade further to right; turning them counter-
clockwise adjusts blade to left.
