Setting the Blade Perpendicular to the Sole Plate 
This adjustment ensures that cuts are made square to the 
workpiece surface. This adjustment is completed at the 
factory and shouldn’t need to be adjusted unless the tool has 
been modified or serviced. 
Instruction Manual 
11 
The most accurate method for checking the square of the 
blade is to make a cut with the saw and examine the 
resulting cut.  
For even greater accuracy, the procedure below uses a 
method that amplifies a small measurement into a larger 
measurement to make it easier to observe. This doubles the 
accuracy of the adjustment.  
Adjustment Procedure 
1.  Using the guide rail, carefully cut a small piece of wood 
in half.  
► 
This is a precision adjustment. Make sure the guide rail 
and workpiece are securely clamped. 
► 
The piece should be at least ¾ inch thick by 12 inches 
square.  
► 
The thicker the piece, the more accurate the adjustment 
will be. 
► 
For best results, the material should have a consistent 
center, such as Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), 
plastic, or solid lumber.  
2.  Place the two pieces back together to verify that the 
original cut-line is tight (Figure A). If the cut-line is not 
tight, make a new cut. 
3.  Flip the offcut board end-for-end so the cut-line is still 
together but the board is upside down. (Don't flip the 
board that was under the saw.) 
4.  Inspect the joint between the two boards: 
► 
If there is no gap then the adjustment is correct. 
► 
If the gap is at the top of the two boards (Figure B), then 
turn the adjustment screws clockwise.   
► 
If the gap is at the bottom of the two 
boards (Figure C), then turn the 
adjustment screws counterclockwise. 
5.  Loosen the front and rear bevel lock 
knobs (see image to the right). 
6.  Turn the two stop screws in the direction determined in 
step 4. (Make sure to turn both screws the same 
amount.) Each turn of the adjustment screw will have 
the following effect: 
► 
1 turn equals 1 degree of adjustment. 
► 
1 turn equals ½ mm of gap between the boards shown 
above (assuming ¾ inch thick boards). 
7.  Verify the adjustment setting by repeating steps 1 
through 4.
