hANDWhEEL KNOBS
The height adjusting handwheel knob and bevel adjusting
handwheel knobs act as locks. To unlock either knob before
making an adjustment, turn the knob counterclockwise to
loosen. After making a height or bevel adjustment, turn the
knob clockwise to tighten.
TO ChANGE BLADE DEPTh
See Figures 47 - 48.
The blade depth should be set so the outer points of the blade
are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to
1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface.
 Raise the blade by unlocking the height adjusting
handwheel and turning it clockwise.
 L o w e r t h e b l a d e b y t u r n i n g t h e h a n d w h e e l
counterclockwise.
TO ChANGE BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 49.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.
 Unplug the saw.
 Unlock the bevel adjusting handwheel by rotating the
locking knob counterclockwise.
 Adjust the bevel angle by turning the bevel adjusting
handwheel. Turning the handwheel clockwise will tilt the
saw blade to the left.
 When the saw blade is tilted to the left as far as it will go,
the blade should be at a 45° angle to the saw table and
the bevel indicator should point to 45°.
 When the saw blade is tilted to the right as far as it will
go, the blade should be at 90° to the saw table and the
bevel indicator should point to 0°.
NOTE: When the saw blade is 90° to the saw table, the
saw blade should be square with the saw table. (See the
Adjustments section of this manual to square the saw
blade.)
