ASSEMBLY
FIGURE 18
PREPARING TO CUT
ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° POSITIVE BEVEL STOPS
There are positive stops at each end of the bevel range. To
ensure accurate cuts, the positive stops must be positioned at
exactly at 90° and 45°. The bevel stops are properly adjusted
as shipped. However, for maximum accuracy, you should check
the position of the stops upon assembly and from time to time
to assure that the settings remain satisfactory. To check the
position of the stops and adjust if necessary, refer to Figure 18
and do the following.
1. Release the blade tilt lock knob located on the right side
of the saw by rotating counter clockwise.
2. Rotate the blade tilt handwheel counter clockwise and
tilt the blade to the 0° position until the stop is reached.
3. Using a carpenter’s square, check the angle of the blade
face to the table, as shown in Figure 24b, page 20. If
the blade is at 90° to the table, proceed to Step 6.
4. If the blade is not perpendicular to the table, turn
handwheel to slightly tilt the blade away from the stop
position then adjust the 90° stop by rotating the socket
set screw located in the table top immediately in front
of the left side of throat plate (A). Re-check angle using
the carpenter’s square and continue to adjust until
the blade is at 90 degrees when returned to the stop
position.
5. Rotate the blade tilt wheel counterclockwise until it rests
on the 45° stop. Then repeat Steps 4 and 5, adjusting
the 45° stop by rotating the socket set screw located in
front of the right side of the throat plate. (B)
SECURING SAW TO FLOOR
This saw is designed for portability. Do not
attempt to use the saw to cut a large or
cumbersome workpiece without first taking appropriate steps
to protect against tipping the saw. Examples of appropriate
steps include the use of support tables and/or securing the
saw legs to the floor by replacing the saw feet with connecting
bolts or by attaching the legs to a floor mounted bracket with
u-straps.
Failure to comply with the following warnings
may result in serious personal injury.
• DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
• Turn unit o and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and
when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
• Prior to operating the saw, make sure you are familiar with
its features and controls, and have made all necessary
adjustments as described below.
• ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with
the blade before operating the switch to start the saw.
Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
• To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the o position before plugging saw
into power source.
