indicator points to 5°-10°.
 Turn the 0° stop screw 1/4 turn in the clockwise or
counterclockwise direction.
 Rotate the height/bevel adjusting handwheel until the
blade is tilted to the right as far as it will go.
 Lock the bevel locking lever and check the blade angle.
 Repeat above steps to readjust and recheck blade angle
as needed.
Once blade is square to the table (0° bevel):
 Check bevel indicator.
