Calibrating Table Tilt
Scale
The pointer on the table tilt scale must be calibrated
in order for the scale reading to be accurate.
To calibrate the pointer on the table tilt scale:
1. Make sure that the blade is tensioned and is
tracking correctly, and that the table is 90˚ to
the blade.
2. Loosen the screw on the pointer (Figure 28),
but do not remove it.

3. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on
the table tilt scale.
4. Tighten the screw on the pointer so that the
pointer is locked in place.
