screws (S, Figure 8-2). Adjust these set screws to
eliminate any play between bar and miter slot.
8.5 Blade tilt stop adjustment
The stops for 90°, 45° blade tilt, and elevation
settings have all been factory set, and should
require no immediate adjustment. The settings
should be confirmed by the operator, however, and
especially if cuts become inaccurate. Both tilt stops
are located on the trunnion.

Disconnect machine from power source.
2.
Make sure table insert has been leveled with
table surface (sect. 6.8).
3.
Raise blade to highest position, and place a
square on table and against blade (Figure 8-
4). Make sure that a blade tooth does not
obstruct the actual reading.
4.
Tilt blade with handwheel until square and
blade are flush.
5.
If adjustment is required, loosen nut on 90°
stop screw (Figure 8-5) with 13mm wrench,
and turn screw to proper height. Verify setting
and retighten nut against trunnion.
6.
Check pointer position on scale (Figure 8-5). If
needed, loosen screw and adjust pointer to
zero. Retighten screw.
