ADJUSTING THE 90O AND 45O POSITIVE STOPS (FIG. H, H-1, I) Your saw has positive stops that will quickly position the saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. Make adjustments only if necessary. 90O Stop (Fig. H, H-1) 1. Disconnect the saw from the power source. 2. Turn the blade tilting handwheel until the blade tilting scale is at 90°. 3. Turn the blade elevation handwheel and raise the blade to the maximum elevation. 4. Place a combination square on the table and against the blade to check if the blade is 90° to the table. 5. If the blade is not 90°to the table. Remove the back cover (2) of the base by removing the screws (1), three for each side. 6. Adjust the bevel tilting handwheel to make an adequate distance between the anchor block (3) and bevel gear (4). 7. Loosen the two set screws (5) of the anchor block (3) with 3mm allen key. 8. Separate the anchor block (3) from the worm (6). • When the bevel angle is more than 90°, turn the anchor block (3) to A direction in adequate degree until the bevel angle and bevel scale is the same. • When the bevel angle is less than 90°, turn the anchor block to B direction in adequate degree until the bevel angle and bevel scale is the same. 9. When completing the above adjustment, replace the set screws (5) and tighten them. 10. Replace the back cover (2) and then tighten the screws (1), three for each side.

Turn the blade elevation handwheel and raise the blade to the maximum elevation. 3. Place a combination square on the table and against the blade to check if the blade is 45° to the table. 4. If the blade is not 45° to the table. Remove the back cover (2) of the base by removing the screws (1), three for each side. (Fig. H) 5. Adjust the bevel tilting handwheel to make an adequate distance between the anchor block (3) and bevel gear (4). 6. Loosen the two set screws (5) of the anchor block (3) with 3 mm allen key. 7. Separate the anchor block (3) from the worm (6). • When the bevel angle is more than 45°, turn the anchor block (3) to A direction in adequate degree until the bevel angle and bevel scale is the same. • When the bevel angle is less than 45°, turn the anchor block to B direction in adequate degree until the bevel angle and bevel scale is the same. 8. When completing the above adjustment, replace the set screws (5) and tighten them. 9. Replace the back cover (2) and then tighten the screws (1), three for each side.

Remove the magnifier, position the pointer over 0O and replace the magnifier. NOTE: Make a trial cut on scrap wood before making critical cuts. Measure for accuracy. Fig. J 0ı 5ı 10ı BA 6 35 - 15 -
