Blade 45° To The Table
1. Rotate table 1 to 0° miter position and lock
in place.
2. Move sliding fence to its proper position.
(See Sliding Fence on page 32.)
3. Lower head assembly. Lock in place.
4. Loosen bevel lock handle 4 and tilt the
head assembly to 45° bevel. Check the
45° bevel stop. The bevel indicator should
be on the 45° mark, the 45° bevel stop
should be in full contact with the 45° bevel
stop screw, and the blade 2 should contact
the full length of the combination square 3
(Figure 8).
5. If the blade is not 45° with the table, adjust 45° bevel stop.
45° Blade Alignment
a. Move sliding fence to proper position. (See Sliding Fence on page 32.)
b. Loosen bevel lock handle 4.
c. Bevel the head assembly to 0° to access the adjustment screw 9.
d. Loosen jam nut 6 using a 1/2" or 12 mm wrench. Lower or raise 45° stop screw 5 with the
hex wrench provided.
e. Grasp carrying handle, move the head assembly left or right until blade makes contact
with the full length of the square.
Tighten the bevel lock handle 4.
f.
g. Adjust 45° bevel stop screw 5 so that the hex screw head hits the 45° stop 7 at the same
time the blade makes contact with the full length of the square. Tighten 45° jam nut 6
(Figure 9a).
h. Check that bevel indicator 8 is pointing to the 45° mark on the bevel scale (see Figure 9a).
If bevel indicator is not aligned with the 45° mark, first recheck the blade squareness to
the table and 0°bevel indicator alignment. Then, repeat the 45° blade alignment and make
appropriate adjustments.
