MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
LEVELING THE THROAT PLATE
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOPS
Check that the throat plate is properly adjusted to the table. Front of throat plate should be level or slightly below the
surface of the table and rear of the throat plate should be level or slightly above the surface of the table. See Fig. 15.
There are four phillips set screws (A) pre-assembled to the table that are used to level the throat plate. (See Fig. 16a)
If the throat plate is not flush with the surface of the table, adjust these screws to ensure the entire throat plate is
flush with the table. (See Fig. 16)
Adjustment to the bevel stops may be required if the
blade is not vertically square to the table when bevel
adjustment is set at 0° or does not go to 45° when
bevel is tilted to 45°.
Corrective adjustments can be made by adjusting the
bevel stop cams at each end of the bevel track as
follows;
If the blade is not vertically square to the table, you
must adjust the 0° bevel stop cam as shown in Fig. 32.
1. 1. Unlock the bevel lock lever and position the
height adjustment wheel/bevel lock assembly to
the right in order to gain access to the 0° bevel stop
cam.
2. Loosen the cap screw that locks the 0° bevel stop
cam in place (center of the cam). (As shown in Fig.
32a)
3. Move the height adjustment wheel/bevel lock
assembly to the 0° bevel stop cam making sure
that height adjustment wheel/bevel lock assembly
is in contact with the 0° bevel stop cam. Check
blade squareness to table with combination square,
rotate bevel stop cam as needed until blade is
properly square to the table.
4. Tighten the cap screw that locks the bevel stop
cam in place. Recheck to verify that blade is square
to table. Readjust as needed.
If blade does not check at 45° to the table when tilted
to the 45° bevel stop cam, follow steps 1-4 by adjusting
the 45° bevel stop cam using the 45° side of the
combination square. See Fig 33 and 33a.
