ADJUSTMENTS
RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 13)
1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement scale
(8). The scale shows the distance from the side of the fence
closest to the blade.
2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a differ-
ence between the measurement and the indicator, adjust the
indicator (6).
3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the correct
measurement on the scale. Tighten the screw and re-measure
with the rule.
BLADE TILTING MECHANISM
The saw blade can be tilted two different ways.
RAPID BLADE TILTING (FIG. 14)
1. Loosen blade bevel lock knob (2).
2. Slide the entire handwheel assembly (1) to desired location.
3. Tighten locking knob (2). Ensure locking knob is fully tight-
ened before attempting a cut.
MICRO-ADJUSTMENT BLADE TILTING (FIG. 14)
1. Loosen blade bevel lock knob (2).
2. Push handwheel (1) IN to engage the handwheel gears with
the segment gear on the table saw base.
3. While holding handwheel IN, turn the handwheel to tilt the
blade to the desired angle.
4. Tighten lock knob to secure bevel angle.
NOTE: Changing the blade angle can be done independently
of changing blade height.
CAUTION
Blade bevel lock knob (2) must be firmly tightened
and locked during all cutting operations.
BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 14)
To raise the saw blade, turn handwheel (1) COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE. To lower the blade, turn the handwheel CLOCKWISE.
It is not necessary to loosen blade tilting locking knob (2)
when raising or lowering the saw blade.
BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE (FIG. 15, 16)
This adjustment was made at the factory, but it should be re-
checked and adjusted if necessary.
CAUTION
Always disconnect plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments.
• This adjustment must be correct to help prevent
kickback injuries and ensure accurate cuts.
1. Remove the safety switch key and unplug the saw.
2. Remove the blade guard for this procedure but reinstall and
realign after adjustment.
3. Raise the blade to the highest position and set at the 0°
angle (90° straight up).
4. Select and mark, with a felt tip maker, a blade tooth having
a "right set" and rotate the blade so the marked tooth is 1/2
in. above the table at the front of the saw.
5. Place the combination square base (1) into the right side
miter gauge groove (2).
6. Adjust the rule so it touches the front marked tooth and lock
ruler so it holds its position in the square assembly.
7. Rotate the blade bringing the marked tooth to the rear and
about 1/2 in. above the table.
8. Carefully slide the combination square to the rear until the
ruler touches the marked tooth.
9. If the ruler touches the marked tooth at the front and rear
position indicating the same measurement, no adjustment is
needed at this time. If not, perform adjustment procedure de-
scribed in next section.
