To check the alignment of the saw blade at 90°, you will need an engineers square at
least 200mm long on one of the inside edges. The best way to check the alignment
of the saw blade is to cut through a workpiece and measure the angle produced.
The workpiece must have a flat bottom surface (the surface which faces the cast
iron) for the subsequent measurement to be completely accurate.
Place the square along the cut face and the face that was against the cast iron table
and check for any gaps. If the cut is within the specified tolerance, no further action is
necessary.
To make any adjustments to this angle, see figure SR07.1 for the location of the
adjustment. The stop can be accessed from the cut-out in the chassis with an allen
key. Once an adjustment is made, check the alignment once more and re-adjust as
necessary.
