Using the supplied 1/8” hex key, loosen the (4) button head fasteners
that secure the faceplate to the protractor and, depending on your applica­tion, square the faceplate to the blade, miter slot, sanding belt, etc. NOTE:
When squaring to a saw blade (see Figure 5), use a reliable square for this
important alignment. Securely retighten the (4) button head fasteners to
complete the alignment.

This important one-time adjust­ment prepares your INCRA Miter
V120 for perfect angles at all other
indexing tooth positions. Verify
the accuracy of your alignment
with a test cut, and re-align if the
cut is not exactly 90 degrees.
Fine adjustments to the angle of
the fence mounting bracket to
your table top can also be made by loosening the same fasteners and plac­ing a paper shim between the bracket and the underside of the protractor.
