Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to
maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
RAIL LOCK ADJUSTMENT
1. Lock the rail lock lever (Fig. 9) by pushing down.
2. On the underside of your saw, tighten the nut shown in
Figure 18. Adjust this nut until the gap between the bel-
leville washers closes.
3. Once the springs are almost touching, tighten the nut
1/2 turn.
RIP SCALE ADJUSTMENT
See Adjusting the Rip Scale.
BLADE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
(Blade Parallel to Miter Slot)
WARNING: Cut Hazard. Check the blade at 0˚ and 45˚
to make sure blade does not hit the throat plate, causing
personal injury.
If the blade appears to be out of alignment with the miter
slot on the table top, it will require calibration for align-
ment. To realign the blade and miter slot, use the following
procedure:
1. THE SAW MUST BE UNPLUGGED BEFORE YOU
MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT TO THE BLADE.
2. Place the unit in an upright position. Using a 10mm
socket, loosen rear pivot bracket fasteners just enough
SCREWS to allow the bracket to move side-to-side (Fig. 7A).
3. Adjust the bracket until the blade is parallel to the miter
gauge slot.
4. Tighten the rear pivot bracket fasteners to 6-8 ft.lbs.
(8.1 to 10.8 Nm).
BEVEL STOP AND POINTER ADJUSTMENT
1. Raise the blade fully by rotating the blade height adjust-
ment wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. Unlock the bevel lock lever (Fig. 3) by pushing it up and
to the right. Loosen the bevel stop screw (Fig. 19).
3. Place a square flat against the table top and against the
blade between teeth, as shown in Figure 20. Ensure the
bevel lock lever is in its unlocked, or up, position.
4. Using the bevel lock lever, adjust the bevel angle until it
is flat against the square.
5. Tighten the bevel lock lever by pushing it down.
6. Turn the bevel stop cam until it firmly contacts the bear-
ing block. Tighten the bevel stop screw.
7. Check the bevel angle scale. If the pointer does not read
0°, loosen pointer screw (Fig. 19) and move the pointer so
it reads correctly. Retighten the pointer screw.
ON-OFF
8. Repeat at 45°, but do not adjust pointer.
