RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as
potential hazards. General® MFG disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may
esult from improper use of its equipment.
r
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or
nder the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica-
u
tion that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free
of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when
the saw is in operation; do not permit them to
operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches
and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten
tion. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be
hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area
and whenever possible use a dust collector and
wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck-
laces or other jewelry while the saw is in operation.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair
and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and
other clutter are removed from the machine and/or
the feed table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all mo-
ving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away
chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in
proper cutting direction before operation.
11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed
before beginning to cut.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade.
Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to
accidents.
13. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stop-
ping the table saw.
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does
ot have a flat surface. Always hold stock firmly
n
against the fence when ripping, or against the miter
gauge when cross-cutting.
16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece
kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade
or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance posi-
tions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both
feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the
blade and never pull the work piece over the blade
from behind. Use out feed support or have an assistant help when ripping long material.
18. Keep blade guards in place and in working order.
If a guard must be removed for maintenance or
cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached before
using the tool again.
19. Never leave the machine running with the power
on when not in operation.
20. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended

21. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could
result if the tool is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing
or changing accessories such as blades, or before
performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, or if the machine will be left unattended.
23. Make sure that switch is in "OFF" position before
plugging in the power cord.
24. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equip-
ped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a
three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third
prong.
25. Do not use this saw for other than its intended use. If
used for other purposes,

appropriate power cord and plug must be performed
by a qualified electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source using a power cord that
has a grounding wire, which must also be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded and all electrical connections must be made in accordance with
all local codes and regulations.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well
as an electrical plug are recommended and should
be installed by a qualified electrician. Use locally
approved wire that includes a separate grounding wire
and a 3 prong grounding type plug with a matching
receptacle .
NOTE: To limit the potential for damage in transport, this
saw is shipped from the factory with the switch facing
inward . Before operating, the switch must be reinstalled
facing outward .
For added convenience, based upon personal preference,
a second mounting bracket, , and a second hole in the
base, , (for the power cord) allows installation of the
switch on the right side rather than the left side of the saw.
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician
or our service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 230V equipment. If you find it necessary,
use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged
extension cord or plug immediately.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for
the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying
chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used
based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
number, the heavier the gauge.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of the “M2” model of this machine is
wired for 230V single phase operation. As with many
stationary industrial type machines, because each
installation situation is unique, this table saw is supplied
without a power cord or plug. The installation of an

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
THIS MODEL 650R 10" TILTING ARBOR SAW IS VERY HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT
HIS MACHINE.
T
TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE
RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 495 LBS (225 KGS).
A
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on a
solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the saw (495 lbs - 225 kgs) and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown beside as a guideline, plan
for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or
other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a safety zone around shop
machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid accidents that
could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint
(using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take
steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is
running for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
CLEAN UP
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust from
forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or
paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solventsoaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by
clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted
surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove
paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into
the T-slots to remove the grease.

adjust the set screws .
Tip: Tighten each locking screw immediately after adjusting its corresponding set screw to avoid undoing the previous adjustment
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE SAW BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
SETTING THE SPLITTER/KNIFE 90º TO THE TABLE
1. With the blade set to 90º to the table, using a square,
verify the perpendicular alignment of the splitter/knife
to the table, .
2. If needed, loosen or tighten (with the 3/32 allen key
provided) the two upper and/or lower set screws
on the splitter/knife mounting bracket, until the splitter/knife is 90º to the table .
12
90º
SETTING THE SPLITTER/KNIFE PARALLEL TO AND CENTERED ON THE
BLADE
1. Place a straightedge against the splitter/knife .
2. If needed, loosen or tighten one or both set screws
on both right and left side of the splitter/knife
mounting bracket until the splitter/knife is parallel
to the blade .
3. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance
between the straightedge and the blade . The
width of the gap must be more or less the same on
each side of the splitter/knife. If needed, re-adjust
the set screws on both right and left side of the splitter/knife mounting bracket to increase or decrea-
e the clearance between the straight edge and the
s
blade.

REMOVE / INSTALL A SAW BLADE
NOTE
This saw is intended for use with 10" (250mm) diameter or less saw blades having a center hole diameter of
5/8". There are many types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as crosscuts or ripping
only, or for use with plywood, panelling and other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a
finer finish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only saw blades designed for use at a maximum operating speed of 6000 RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store saw
blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other. Place a layer of cardboard or similar material
between the blades to keep them from coming into contact with each other.
BE SURE THE SAW IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER INSTALLING OR
REMOVING A SAW BLADE!

TIGHTEN
2. Replace the flange and arbor nut. Holding the arbor
with the arbor wrench provided, wedge a block of
wood between the teeth at the rear of the saw and
push the arbor wrench away from you or clockwise.
3. Re-install the table insert.
TO INSTALL A SAW BLADE:
. Install the blade on the arbor so that the openings
1
between the teeth face the front of the saw (the
blade spins in the counter-clockwise direction).
NOTE
When tightening the arbor nut, take care not to
over tighten as this will make it very difficult to
remove later. Because the rotation of the blade
runs counter to the direction of the threads on the
nut, the blade is essentially tightening itself to the
nut whenever the saw is running. Though there are
no hard and fast rules for how much torque is
required, the arbor nut should always be tightened
firmly but without excess.
LEVEL THE TABLE INSERTLEVEL THE TABLE INSERT
Use a straightedge to determine whether the insert is level
with the table top. Turn each of the 4 adjusting screws with
a 1/8" Allen key until done.
Suggestion: Start by adjusting one rear screw and its
diagonal opposite in front, then tweak the remaining two
screws.
Note: If the sawblade has already been installed, use the raising handwheel to lower the blade below the table surface
before leveling the insert.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
S
TO
P
The magnetic safety switch on this saw is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an electrical
overload from damaging the motor,in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal overload
protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Note: The most common causes of such overloads are:
1. Overworking the motor by attempting to feed thick dense workpiece material too quickly, thereby causing an
increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
2. An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an increase
in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the chart in
the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
3. Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure the
circuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other electrical
devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been
tripped proceed as follows:
1. Set the power switch on the saw to the off position
and disconnect the machine from the power source
Note: If the saw is permanently connected to a circuit
(hard-wired), set the wall panel circuit breaker or main
circuit interrupter to the off position.

4. Reinstall the control box cover.
5. Reconnect the saw to the power source.
6. You can now resume cutting operations.
TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL STARTUP, MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH ON THE
SAW IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING
TO A POWER SOURCE. .

The blade height adjustment handwheel is located on the
front of the saw, , and there is a lock knob, , on the
handwheel that allows you to lock the wheel and secure
the blade at the desired height.
To raise or lower the blade:
1. Loosen the blade height lock knob, , by turning
counter clockwise.
2. To raise the blade:
To lower the blade:
clockwise.
. With the blade set to the desired height, tighten the lock knob, , by turning clockwise to lock the blade.
3
turn the handwheel, , clockwise.
turn the handwheel counter
TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO THE BLADE AND ALSO TO MAXIMISE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS (WHEN USING THE RIVING STYLE SPLITTER & BLADE GUARD), NEVER TAKE MORE BLADE HEIGHT THAN
IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE CUT. WHEN SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT FOR THROUGH-CUTS (CUTS ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE THICKNESS OF A BOARD) SET THE HEIGHT OF THE BLADE TO ROUGHLY 1/4” HIGHER
THAN THE THICKNESS OF THE BOARD.
BLADE TILT (BEVEL) ADJUSTMENT
The blade tilt (bevel) adjustment handwheel is located on
the side of the saw, . The bevel locking knob, , is located on the handwheel and allows the user to lock the tilting mechanism and secure the blade at the desired
angle.
To change the angle of the blade:
1. Loosen the bevel locking knob, , by turning counter
clockwise.
2. Turn the handwheel, , left or right as required to set
the blade to the desired angle. The blade can be tilted to the left anywhere from 0° (90° to the table) to
45°.
3. With the blade tilted to the desired angle, tighten the bevel locking knob, , by turning clockwise to lock the
tilting mechanism and secure the blade.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
• Make sure that the arbor nut is secure and that the blade is firmly tightened snug on the arbor.
• Check that the blade angle and height lock knobs are tight.
• If ripping, make sure the fence lock lever is engaged and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If cross cutting, make sure the miter gauge is locked tight.
• While using the saw, be sure to wear safety glasses at all times.
• Make sure that the blade guard/splitter assembly is properly installed and aligned with the blade, and that the
anti-kickback pawls are functioning.
17
TYPES OF CUTS
RIPPING
Cutting a wood plank or sheet of plywood lengthwise to
reduce its width is called “ripping.” To rip stock, hold the
work with both hands pushing it into the blade as well as
firmly against the rip fence so that it is cut straight, .
The work to be cut must have a straight edge to ride
•
the fence and must be flat to make solid contact with
the table during the cut in order to avoid “kickback” (a
lade jam causing the wood to fly backwards and hit
b
you).
• Never rip or cut wood without using the fence or miter
gauge to guide it because the stock could kickback.
• Always use the blade guard and splitter assembly when cutting wood. It has anti-kickback fingers and a split
ter to prevent the saw “kerf” (the slit cut by the blade) from closing and binding the blade, which can overload
and/or stall the motor or cause the blade to lift and eject the workpiece towards the front of the saw at very
high speeds. The blade guard keeps your fingers away from the blade and also reduces the amount of saw
dust flying free.
• Although certain operations require the removal of the blade guard and splitter assembly, it should always be
replaced for regular cutting.
• Never stand in the line of the blade when ripping.
• Raise the saw blade only about 1/4” higher than the work to be cut.
As you complete the rip, the wood will either remain on the
table, tilt up to be caught on the end of the guard, or fall
onto the floor (or outfeed table). The waste part of the
stock remains on the table to be removed only after the
saw is stopped (unless it is large enough for immediate
safe removal).
If the work to be ripped is narrow, it is safer to use a push
stick, rather than the hands, to feed it into the blade, .
Push sticks with non-slip grippers can be purchased, but a
shop-made one works just as well.
When ripping extremely narrow stock that may not clear
the width of the blade guard, or very thin material such as
paneling, which may slip between the underside of the
fence and the table surface, a strip of wood as an auxiliary guide can be attached to the fence.
NEVER REACH IN TOWARDS THE BLADE WHILE THE BLADE IS STILL SPINNING! WHENEVER A RIP CUT IS COMPLET-ED, TURN OFF
THE SAW AND WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REACHING IN TO REMOVE THE WORKPIECE OR
THE WASTE MATERIAL.
BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping is performed the same as ripping but with the saw blade set to an angle not perpendicular with the
table surface. After changing the bevel angle verify the alignment of the guard and splitter; make sure there is
clearance with the saw blade.
RIPPING SMALL WORK PIECES
Do not attempt rip cuts if the work piece is too small, as this will oblige you to place your hands too close to the
blade and put you at serious risk of injury. When ripping narrower widths; use a push block or a push stick in order
to avoid placing hands near the blade.
18
CROSS CUTTING
Cutting against the grain, to shorten the length of a board
is crosscutting. With some smaller-sized and rectangular
pieces, you often have the choice of ripping or crosscutting. Always use the miter gauge, , when crosscutting;
never cut a piece unsupported. The miter gauge may be
sed in either slot, but most operators prefer the left
u
groove for typical work. When the blade is tilted for bevel
cutting, use the table slot that does not cause interference
with your hand or the saw blade guard.
To begin crosscutting, place the work on the miter gauge
and, with the motor OFF, slide it up close to the blade to
lign the outer edges of the teeth with your cut mark, .
a
Keep a firm grip as you pull the miter gauge and the
wood back away from the blade. Lower the blade guard,
turn on the saw and make the cut. When the work is cut
through, move one or both cut pieces — if long enough
to handle without danger — immediately off to the side,
away from the turning blade. Turn off the motor.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING
This procedure is the same as cross cutting except that the blade is set to an angle other than 0. After changing the
bevel angle, verify the alignment of the guard and splitter and verify that there is clearance with the saw blade.
ADJUSTING AND USING THE MITER GAUGE
ADJUSTING THE MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge supplied with your saw has accurately adjusted
index stops at 90° and 45° to the right and left, with a 30° maximum.
To use a setting other than 90°, loosen the lock knob, , by turning
it counter-clockwise,flip down the stop-lock tab, , rotate the miter
head to 45°, or any angle shown on the numerical guide. Turn the
lock knob clockwise to tighten it.
To check the accuracy of the miter gauge’s factory settings, set it at
90° and check it with an L-square or T-square. To verify the setting,
make a test cut in scrap stock and then use a square to check the
cut piece.
If the miter gauge needs adjusting, manually turn the head so the
pointer is where you think it ought to be, tighten the lock knob and
loosen the nut, . Turn the adjusting screw until it touches the stoplock tab. Tighten down the nut. Recheck the angle by making
another test cut. Repeat, if necessary, until a true 90° is achieved.
19
ADDING AN AUXILIARY FENCE TO THE MITER GAUGE
To ensure a true 90° crosscut, especially with longer pieces of wood
that need more support than the narrow miter gauge head can
provide, an auxiliary wood fence can be attached.
Make sure the wood for the fence is straight, not bowed. It should
be about 2 inches wide and extend about 12 inches from either
side of the miter head. Drill 2 holes in the wood corresponding to
those on the miter head and use bolts and nuts to secure the wood
fence to the head, .
To use the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence, first notch the fence with the saw blade a bit higher than the workpiece, . Measure and draw a cutline on your wood, , then place it on the miter fence. Position your cutline
against the notch. Turn on the saw, slide the work up until it is cut through (but don’t cut off the fence).
Marking Wood. If you measure a cut for 24 inches, line up the blade on the waste side of the mark. Don’t cut
through the middle of the measurement line or you’ll reduce your desired board length by half the width of the saw
blade! For accurate work, don’t mark your cut with a fat pencil line, . A narrow dash, with a sharp pencil point is
best, . Encircle the dash so you’ll find it again and add a small X to indicate the waste or cut-off side . Pencils,
like saw blades, have thickness. When squaring off from the cut mark, align your square to allow for pencil clearance, which will be about 1/16” away from the drawing edge of the square, .
ARGER VIEW
L
FRONT VIEW
MITER CUTS
This operation is the same as cross cutting, except the
miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0. Hold the work
piece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work
piece slowly into the blade to prevent it from moving
during the cut.
COMPOUND MITERING
This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow instructions for both bevel cutting and mitering.
20
USING A DADO HEAD BLADE
Dadoing is cutting a “rabbet” or a wide groove into the
work. A dado blade, , (not supplied with your saw) usually consists of two outer blades and several interior cutters. These can be adjusted to cut grooves from 1/8” to
13/16” for making shelves, joints and tenoning. Set the
blade’s width according to the instructions supplied with
your dado blade.
After adjusting its width, mount the dado blade on your
saw just like a regular blade. You’ll need an optional
dado insert, , (Item # 650-3) to replace the standard one
hat comes with your saw. Use the fence to line up the cut.
t
The blade guard/splitter must be removed when dadoing. Never use the dado blade in a bevel position.
LWAYS VERIFY THE DADO BLADE CLEARANCE BEFORE CONNECTING THE SAW TO THE POWER SOURCE. REATTACH THE
A
GUARD AND VERIFY & ADJUST SPLITTER/RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT IF NEEDED. AFTER DADO CUT IS FINISHED. THE MAXIMUM
DADO HEAD WIDTH FOR THIS SAW IS 13/16” AND THE MAXIMUM DADO BLADE DIAMETER IS 8”.
MAINTENANCE
MAKE SURE THE SAW HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the saw with a damaged switch - replace a
damaged switch immediately
• Inspect the saw blade for damage or chipped teeth before each use. Replace a damaged or chipped blade
immediately. Never operate the saw with a damaged or chipped blade
• Keep the saw table clean and free of dust, pitch or glue.
• An occasional light coating of paste wax can be used to protect the cast-iron surface. Ask our local distributor for suggestions on table top cleaners and cast-iron surface protection based on what is readily available
in your area.
• Occasionally open the cabinet door and brush off and vacuum out accumulated dust from inside the cabinet and on the blade tilting gears and on or around the motor.
• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric shock or fire, never
operate the saw with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the first
sign of damage.
• To minimize airborne dust particles periodically inspect all dust collection fittings – re-tighten as needed.
21
LUBRICATION
Keep the blade tilt mechanism as well as the blade height
adjustment mechanism well lubricated and free of dust or
debris. Clean and remove dust, debris, and old lubricant
as needed depending on frequency of use. After cleaning,
reapply lubricant as needed.
Note: To lubricate the blade tilt mechanism , apply a
very light dab of any all-purpose grease (available at any
hardware store).
To lubricate the blade height adjustment mechanism ,
loosen and remove the lock knob on the blade tilt adjustment hand wheel, then spray some dry lubricant into the
hole .
The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required. No other
part of this table saw needs lubrication.
ADJUSTING THE 90° BEVEL STOP
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Raise the blade to its highest position and lift the blade
guard.
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob and turn the blade tilting
handwheel clockwise until it stops.
4. Verify the 90° angle of the blade with a square from the
left side of the blade . Keep the square flat against
the table and against the flat part of the blade - Do not
touch the teeth of the blade.
If the blade angle is incorrect, adjust the 90° stop screw,
, located inside the cabinet, on the left side of the saw.
Proceed as follows:
5. Loosen the jam-nut using a 1/2" open end wrench.
6. Adjust the height of the 90° stop screw, , until the
blade is 90° to the table when the 90° stop screw
touches the stop .
7. Re-tighten the jam-nut.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE POINTER
The bevel pointer should read“0”when the blade is at 90°
to the table. If not, with the blade set 90° vertical to the
table, remove the hand wheel by loosening the hand
wheel lock knob, , then loosening the set screw on the
shaft of the hand wheel,
the hand wheel has been removed, loosen the screw,
on the pointer mounting bracket and manually align the
pointer,,with the zero on the bevel scale, then re-tighten
the screw and re-attach the hand wheel.
, with the 5/32" Allen key. Once
ADJUSTING THE 45° BEVEL STOP
Verify the 45° setting by tilting the blade as far as possible to
the left and using a square to check the angle . If needed adjust as for the 90° stop, this time using the stop screw
inside the cabinet, at the front of the saw, .
