45 and 90 Degree Positive Stops
Convenient access to these adjustments will be
from the back side of the saw.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
3. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by
turning the blade tilting handwheel clockwise
as far as it will go.
4. Place a square on the table and check to
see that the blade is at a 90 degree angle to
the table. See Figure 30.
5. If blade is not at 90 degrees, proceed as
follows: The 90 degree stop is located on
the trunnion bracket toward the front of the
saw, Figure 31. Loosen the lock nut (A) and
turn adjusting stop screw (B) with a wrench
until screw contacts the underside of table at
the blade's 90 degree position. Tighten lock
nut. Re-check and adjust as necessary.
6. The stop screw for 45 degrees is located
toward the front of the saw on the cylindrical
trunnion link bar, Figure 31. If the saw is not
cutting at 45 degrees, loosen the lock nut
(C) with a 14mm wrench. When the screw
has been loosened, adjust to the proper
position by holding the stop screw (D) with
one wrench while tightening the lock nut (C)
with the other.
Miter Gauge Adjustment
Your miter gauge is equipped with individually
adjustable index stops at 90 degrees and 45
degrees right and left. The index stops can be
adjusted by tightening or loosening the three
adjusting screws (A). See Figure 32.
To operate the miter gauge, loosen lock handle
(B) and move the body of the miter gauge (C) to
the desired angle. The miter gauge body is set
to stop at 0 degrees and 45 degrees left or right.
To move the gauge beyond these points, the
stop link (D) must be flipped out of the way.
To check and adjust the 90 degree setting of
the miter gauge, do the following:
1. Set the gauge at 90 degrees as shown in
Figure 32.
2. Place a metal square against the face of the
miter gauge and along one edge of the miter
gauge slot and check to see if edge of
square fits flush with the miter gauge. See
Figure 33.
