2. Adjusting 90° and 45° positive stops
This tool is equipped with positive stops for rapid and accurate
positioning of the saw blade at 90° and left bevel 45° to the table.
Check and adjust the positive stops by the following procedures.
(1) To adjust positive stop at 90°.
q Turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to
the maximum cutting height.
w Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the saw
blade tilting mechanism to the left until it hits against the
stopper.
Then tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle (see Fig. 14-a).
e Use a square to check the saw blade is at a precise 90°
(see Fig. 14-b).
r If the saw blade is not at a precise 90°, loosen the saw
blade tilt lock handle by turning it counterclockwise. Loosen
the 6mm machine screw (A) (see Fig. 13-c) a few turns and
move the saw blade tilting mechanism until the blade is at
90° to the table (see Fig. 14-b).
t Tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle after adjustment.
y Loosen the 5mm machine screw and set the needle pointer
to 0°. On completion of adjustment, recheck the 90° of the
saw blade and table (see Fig. 14-c).
(2) To adjust positive stop at left bevel 45°.
q Turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to
the maximum cutting height.
w Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the saw
blade tilting mechanism to the right until it hits against
the stopper.
Then tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle (see Fig. 15-a).
e Use a 45° gauge to check the saw blade is at a left bevel
45° (see Fig. 15-b).
