6. Use a flathead screwdriver (not included)
to rotate the motor screw clockwise or
counterclockwise, and the blade will travel up
and down on its stroke. Use a combination
square (not included) to check if the blade is
exactly 90° to the table throughout the entire
stroke. (Fig. 7)
 If there is no space between the square
and the blade, the blade is not twisted,
requiring no adjustment.
NOTE: In general, blades are installed
vertically at factory setting, requiring no
adjustment.
 If there is space between the square and
the blade, the upper and lower blade
holders are not aligned and the blade is
twisted. Use the supplied 3 mm L wrench
to adjust the upper and lower blade hold-
ers. (Fig. 8)
NOTE: Remove the metal plate as
described in the section "Sawdust
collection port" to access the lower blade
holder.
7. Attach the drop foot, so that the foot rests
flat against the table. Tighten the screw.
NOTE: Avoid setting the edge of the table
against the table stop screw, which may
cause noise when the saw is running.
Table bevel adjustment (Fig. 9)
The bevel scale is located under the saw table
as a convenient guide for setting the saw table
for bevel cutting. When greater precision is
required, make practice cuts on scrap material
and adjust the saw table as necessary for your
requirements.
To adjust the table bevel, loosen the bevel
lock knob, tilt the table at the desired angle,
and then tighten the knob.
