Setting The Table For Horizontal Or Bevel Cutting; Aligning The Degree Scale Pointer - 909 LS1620 Instruction Manual

Setting the table for horizontal
or bevel cutting
CAUTION.
Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the mains supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Loosen the table lock lever
(14) to allow the saw table to
be tilted to the left. The table
can be locked at any angle
from a 0º horizontal cutting
position up to a 45º angle to
the left for bevel cutting.
3. A bevel adjustment scale (13)
is positioned under the work
table to assist in setting the
appropriate table angle for
bevel cutting. When greater
precision is required, make
a practice cut first and then
adjust the table as necessary
for your requirements.
Note. When bevel cutting, the drop
foot (5) can be tilted so it's parallel
to the table and rests flat against
the workpiece. To tilt the drop foot,
loosen the screw at the front of
the drop foot assembly and then
tilt the foot so that it's parallel to
the table, re-tighten the screw to
secure the drop foot in place.
The bevel locking lever is a spring loaded lever which can
be orientated at various positions. To adjust the angle of the
lever so as not to make contact with the dust extraction port,
or the underside of a tilted table, PULL the lever outwards
and rotate to the desired position, and release.

Aligning the degree scale pointer

1. Loosen the table lock lever (14) and move the table (7) to
position the table at a right angle to the blade.
2. Place a small square on the table next to the blade
to check if the table is at a 90º angle to the blade. If
adjustment is needed, change
the bevel angle until the
table is at approximately 90º to
the blade and securely tighten
the table lock lever (14).
3. Loosen the Phillips head
screw holding the degree
scale pointer and move the
pointer to the 0º position.
Securely tighten the screw.
Note.
The degree scale is a convenient guide but
should not be relied upon for precision. Always make
a practice cut in scrap wood to determine if your angle
settings are correct.
