Making Adjustments to Your Saw

Adjusting the Table Insert

®
The SawStop
zero-clearance insert has been designed to fi t securely within the table opening and just below
the table top. The blade slot in the insert is pre-cut at the factory after all alignments to the saw have been
completed.
As shown in Fig. 112, the insert includes front and rear leveling screws to set the height of the insert. In
addition, positioning screws at the rear and right side of the insert prevent it from rattling in the table opening.
Finally, a lock-down lever at the front prevents the insert from rising unexpectedly.

The insert should slide easily into and out of the table opening, but should not be loose in the opening. If the
insert is too loose, use the included 3 mm hex key to turn the side and/or rear positioning screw(s) counter-
clockwise as needed to reduce the clearance between the insert and the table opening (see Fig. 112). If the
insert is too tight, turn the side and/or rear positioning screw(s) clockwise as needed to increase the clearance
between the insert and the table opening.

WARNING! Always turn off the main power switch and unplug
the power cord before making any adjustments to your saw.

If the SawStop PCS175 saw tilts to 20 degrees and bounces as if the gear is stripped, it may be due to a problem with the tilt mechanism components such as the tilt handwheel, sector gear, worm gear, or threaded rod. These parts are involved in adjusting and holding the blade at the desired tilt angle. If they are worn, damaged, or not properly lubricated, the tilt movement may not be smooth, causing bouncing or slipping. Checking for damage and ensuring proper lubrication of the tilt mechanism is recommended.
