blade.
 Place a small square on the saw table next to the
blade.
 Loosen the screw holding the scale indicator. Move indica-
tor to the 0° mark and securely tighten screw. Remember,
the bevel scale is a convenient guide but should not be

SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figure 7 - 8.
A bevel scale is located under the saw table as a convenient
guide for setting the approximate saw table angle for bevel
cutting. When greater precision is required, make practice
cuts on scrap material and adjust the saw table as necessary
for your requirements.
NOTE: When cutting at angles, the drop foot should be
tilted so it is parallel to the saw table and rests flat against
the workpiece. To tilt the drop foot, loosen phillips screw, tilt
drop foot to the proper angle, then retighten screw.
 Loosen the drop foot lock knob.
 Center the drop foot around the saw blade to the desired
position.
 Tighten the drop foot lock knob.
