(2) To adjust the positive stop at left bevel 45˚
1 Turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to the
maximum cutting height.
2 Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the saw
blade tilting mechanism to the right until it hits against the
stopper. Then tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle
(see Fig. 15-a).
3 Use a 45˚ gauge to check that the saw blade is at a left
bevel 45˚ (see Fig. 15-b).
4 If the saw blade is not at a left bevel 45˚, loosen the saw
blade tilt lock handle. Loosen the M6 x 20 seal lock screw
(see Fig. 13-c) a few turns and move the saw blade tilting
mechanism until the blade is at left bevel 45˚ to the table
(see Fig. 15-b).
5 After adjustment, tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle.
6 On completion of adjustment, recheck the left 45˚ bevel of
the saw blade to the table.
Before shipment from the factory the saw blade is set parallel to
the miter gauge groove and the rip fence is adjusted parallel to
the miter gauge groove. Check and adjust the parallel of the rip
fence by the following procedures. In order to accurate work
and prevent kickback when ripping. Before adjustment of rip
fence, check and adjust slider (It is assembled under the width
body.) to engage with the groove on front rail.
(1) Raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the rip
fence (see Fig. 16-a).
(2) Position the rip fence at one edge of the miter gauge groove.
(3) Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence. The edge
of the rip fence should line up parallel with the miter gauge
groove.
(4) If the edge of the rip fence is not parallel with the miter gauge
groove.
1 Loosen the four 6 mm hex. hd. bolts securing the parallel
bracket to the width body and support.
2 Raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the
rip fence.
Align the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge groove.
Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence.
3 While holding the parallel bracket to prevent movement,
tighten the four 6 mm hex. hd. bolts previously loosened
(see Fig. 16-b).
