Using Your Saw

1. Adjusting the Blade Height:

The height of the blade can be adjusted from
below the table top to 3
To adjust the height of the blade, loosen the elevation
locking knob and turn the elevation hand wheel until
the blade is at the desired height (see Fig. 27). Turn
the hand wheel clockwise to raise the blade, and
counter-clockwise to lower the blade. Lock the blade
height by tightening the elevation locking knob.
For through-cuts (i.e., cuts where the wood is cut
through its entire thickness), the blade height should
be adjusted so that the top of the blade is no more
than / inch to / inch above the workpiece.

The saw includes limit stops to prevent the height of
the blade from being adjusted past the maximum and
minimum setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set at
the factory and should not need adjustment. If you
decide to adjust the blade elevation limit stops, see
page 57 for instructions.
CAUTION! When adjusting the height or tilt angle of the blade, reverse the hand wheel
slightly to release tension after reaching the limit stops. This prevents any slight twisting
of the cast iron assembly that might affect blade parallelism and table alignment.

2. Adjusting the Blade Tilt Angle:

The tilt (bevel) angle of the blade can be adjusted
between 0º and 45º. To adjust the tilt angle of the
blade, loosen the tilt locking knob and turn the tilt
hand wheel until the blade is at the desired angle. The
tilt angle of the blade is indicated by the position of
the tilt angle indicator on the tilt angle scale (see Fig.
28). Turn the tilt hand wheel clockwise to increase
the tilt angle, and counter-clockwise to decrease
the tilt angle. Lock the tilt angle by tightening the tilt
locking knob.
The saw includes limit stops to prevent the tilt angle
of the blade from being adjusted past the 0º and 45º
setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set at the factory
and should not need adjustment. If you decide to
adjust the blade tilt limit stops, see page 59 for
instructions.
