Adjusting.Positive.Stop

After using the table at a tilt of other than 0°, the

positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately

returned to the horizontal position in relation to the

blade. This is important for accurate cutting results.

Note:.The height of the positive stop is lowered when the

table is tilted to the left. Properly re-adjust the positive

stop after returning the table to 0° or greater.
