9.0 Adjustments
Before making adjustments to
saw, push rocker switch to OFF. Also unplug
saw from power if working around blade area.
9.1 Arm tilt
The table remains stationary, so the operator’s
hands can remain in the same comfortable position,
with no risk of the workpiece sliding off the table.
The arm can be tilted up to 45-degrees left or right
for beveled cuts, which are frequently used in
projects such as marquetry.
Refer to Figure 13.
1. Loosen lock handle (A).
2. Make sure upper guard and blower nozzle
positions will not conflict with table.
3. Rotate handle (B) to desired angle. Preset
stops are available at 90°, 45°, 30° and 22.5°,
left and right. Push detent pin (C) while rotating
handle (B) until pin engages hole.
4. Tighten lock handle (A) and release pin.
Lock handle (A) is adjustable to prevent obstruction
when in angled position: Pull out handle and rotate
on pin, then release, making sure it reseats on pin.

6. Push top end of blade into upper guide (F),
making sure it rests between the contact points

to clamping surfaces.

8. Check that blade teeth point forward and down
toward table.

secure. Pluck the blade with your finger, as you
would a guitar string – it should emit a clear note
if properly tensioned.
