Adjusting The Tilt Limit Stops And Tilt Angle Indicator - SawStop ICS31240-50 Owner's Manual

Making Adjustments to Your Saw

5. Adjusting the Tilt Limit Stops and Tilt Angle Indicator:

The tilt limit stops allow you to easily and quickly set the bevel angle to 0° and 45°. However, when making
precision cuts, it is always best to check the angle of the blade with a combination square or similar tool.
WARNING! Always turn off the Main Power Switch and switch the Disconnect
Switch to the OFF position before making any adjustments to your saw.
0° Tilt Limit Stop
To check the position of the 0° limit stop,
install a 10 inch saw blade on the arbor
(see page 17). Raise the blade to its full
elevation, and turn the tilt hand wheel
counter-clockwise until the limit stop is
reached. Using a square, check to see
that the blade is at a 90° angle to the table
(see Fig. 70).
The 0° tilt limit stop is set by the bolt
mounted in the upper left portion of the
front trunnion bracket (see Fig. 71). You
can access the bolt by opening the belt
access door on the left side of the cabinet.
The head of the bolt is painted yellow for
easy identification. To adjust the position
of the 0° limit bolt, first loosen the locking
nut and back it off several turns. If you
plan to adjust the limit stop backward, turn
the bolt clockwise several turns.
Next, adjust the tilt angle until the blade
is at 90° to the table. Turn the 0° limit bolt
counter-clockwise until it is tight. Finally,
turn the locking nut clockwise until it is
tight. The 0° limit stop has now been set.
