Tilt Adjustment
Make sure the saw body frame is set in the upright position with the heel of the tilt frame
casting hard against the stop. Pull the saw over and pin in the 'housed' position. Place a
square reference on the table and move it into contact with the saw blade (not the teeth).
(See Fig 7) Check the vertical, if the saw is out of vertical, loosen the tilt clamping knob, tilt
the body out of the way, loosen the lock nut on the stop, (See Fig 8) adjust the stop, lock;
then tilt the saw back upright against the stop and repeat the procedure; repeat until the
saw blade is vertical.
When the saw is vertical reset the tilt pointer to read zero on the scale. Loosen the tilt
clamping knob and tilt the saw until the toe of the tilt frame casting is hard down on its stop.
The pointer tilt scale should read 45 degrees. If this is not correct, carry out a similar
procedure to the vertical adjustment routine, adjusting that stop until the pointer reads 45
degrees against the scale Do Not Adjust the Pointer. If possible check with a bevel gauge
and a protractor, or a mitre gauge if you have one. ( N.B. Unless it has been damaged, the
scale should be accurate, once the saw has been set vertical and the pointer re-set to the
zero parameter).
