3. TILTING THE TABLE
For bevel cuts, the table tilts 0 through 45 degrees.
a. To tilt the table, loosen the wing nut on the table trunnion, set the
table to the required angle and tighten the wing nut again (See Fig.
10).
b. It is recommended to verify the correct angle setting using an
angle guide, or by making trial cuts in scrap wood. Adjust the indica-
tor accordingly by using a phillips head screwdriver.

2. SETTING TABLE SQUARE TO SAW BLADE
Loosen the wing nut on the lower table trunnion and place a suitably
sized square against the saw blade. If the table requires adjustment,
proceed as follows:
a. Using a wrench, release the hex. nut on the frame. (See Fig.8)
b. Place the wrench on the hex. bolt and adjust until the table square
to the saw blade.(See Fig.8)
c. Tighten the hex. nut and recheck the saw blade and the table for
squareness.
d. Lock the table into position and check that the indicator reads
zero degree on the side of lower table trunnion. Loosen the screw
securing the indicator and reset if necessary to give zero degree
reading. (See Fig. 9)

4. ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE
The locking pressure of the rip fence has been factory-set, if adjust-
ment is required proceed as follows:
a. Raise the fence handle to horizontal position.
b. Turn the fence handle clockwise to increase clamping pressure,
counterclockwise to decrease clamping pressure.(See Fig. 11)
c. After counterclockwise truning the fence handle, sliding the rip
fence to the desired position on the guide rail.(See Fig. 11)
d. The fence handle has a cam action, press down the handle to
clamp tightly to the table after setting rip fence to desired position.
NOTE: Do not adjust the fence handle such that excessive pres-
sure is exerted during operation - this may lead to deformation of the
end clamp at the rear of the rip fence. Set the fence handle to apply
just enough pressure to enable safe operation during cutting.
