4. Rotate the table (16) until the

pointer is positioned at 0º.

5. Tighten the mitre locks (18).

6. Loosen the bevel lock (12)

and set the saw arm (5) at

0º bevel (the blade at 90º to

the mitre table). Tighten the

bevel lock (12) (fig. O).

7. Place a set square against the

table (16) and the flat part of

the blade (fig. P).

Note.

Make sure that the square

contacts the flat part of the saw

blade, not the teeth.

8. Rotate the blade by hand

and check the blade-to-table

alignment at several points.

9. The edge of the set square

and the saw blade should be

parallel.

10. If the saw blade angles

away from the set square,

adjust as follows.

11. Use an 8mm wrench or

adjustable spanner to loosen

the lock nut securing the 0°

bevel adjustment screw (15)

(fig. Q). Also, loosen the bevel

lock (12).

12. Adjust the 0° bevel

adjustment screw (15) with

the hex key (fig. R) to bring

the saw blade into alignment

with the square.

13. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the pointer

of the bevel scale (13) and adjust the position of the

pointer so that it accurately indicates zero on the scale

(fig. S). Retighten the screw.

14. Retighten the bevel lock (12) and the lock nut securing

the 0° bevel adjustment screw (15).

Note.

The above procedure can also be used to check the

angle of the saw blade to the table at 45º bevel angle. The

45° bevel adjustment screw (14) is on the opposite side of

the saw arm (fig. T).
