against the blade (1) to determine if the blade is 90°

to the table. (Fig. U)

5. If the blade is not 90° to the table, loosen the two set

screws (4), located on the collar (5) underneath the

table saw with the 3 mm hex key, and back off the

6. Loosen the blade bevel lock handle, turn the blade

tilting handwheel to move the blade until it is 90° to

the table and tighten the blade bevel lock handle.
