5. Loosen the jam nut and thread the stop bolt

90°. Check the angle of the blade with the
square.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 as necessary.
90˚ Positive Stop
Your table saw will be easier to use and produce
more predictable results if it is adjusted correctly.
Next to parallelism, the 90° positive stop is per-
haps the most important adjustment point on the
saw. To adjust the 90° positive stop bolt:
1. Turn the arbor tilting handwheel (the one on
the left side of the saw) until the 90° positive
stop limits movement.
2. Check the angle of the blade to the table with
a high quality square. Figure 19. If the blade
is 90° to the table, you are finished. If the
blade is not exactly 90° to the table, proceed
to the next steps.
3. Angle the blade toward 45° to allow access
to the stop bolt.
4. Locate the stop bolt on the geared trunnion
inside the cabinet. Figures 20.
