ADJUSTING THE 90
Disconnect the machine from the power source!
Your saw is equipped with positive stops that will rapidly position the blade at 90° and 45° to the table. To check and
adjust the positive stops:
1. Turn the handwheel that tilts the blade clockwise as far as it will go. Make sure that the table insert is level
with the table. Place a square (A) Fig. 38 on the table against the blade. See if the blade is 90° to the table.
If not, then loosen the set screws (B) Fig. 40 back off the collar (C), and turn the handwheel until the blade
is at 90° to the table. Adjust the collar (C) so that it contacts the bracket (D) when the blade is set correctly. Tighten
the set screws (B).
2. Turn the handwheel that tilts the blade counter-clockwise as far as it will go. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 39
on the table and against the blade. See if the blade is 45° to the table. If not, then lightly loosen the two locknuts (E)
Fig. 40, and turn the handwheel until the blade is 45° to the table. Adjust the locknuts (E) Fig. 40 so that the inside
nut contacts the bracket (D) when the blade is set correctly.

FENCE OPERATION/ADJUSTMENTS
Properly align the rip fence with the miter gauge slot to prevent kickback.
1. To move the fence (A) Fig. 41 along the guide rails, lift the fence locking lever (B) and slide the fence to the desired
location on the guide rails. Push the locking lever down (B) to lock the fence in position.
2. You must adjust the fence (A) Fig. 41 so that it is parallel to the miter gauge slots (C). To check and adjust, move the
fence (A) until the bottom edge is in line with the edge of one of the miter gauge slots. Push the fence-locking lever
(B) down. See if the fence (A) is parallel to the edge of the miter gauge slot (C) for the entire length of the table. To
adjust, slightly tighten or loosen one of the two adjusting screws (D) or (E) Fig. 42. Check again. Adjust and check
until you are sure the fence is parallel with the miter gauge slot.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the rip fence from the guide rail while making this adjustment. Very little movement of the
screws (D) and (E) Fig. 42 is necessary.
