To check the alignment of the saw blade at 45°, 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.
Make two cuts at 45° and join them together as shown in
the tolerancing information.
Place a square along the outside of the joint and check for any gaps between the
workpieces and the square. Compare any gaps to the specified tolerance. If the
angle is within tolerance then no adjustment is necessary.
To make an adjustment to the 45° alignment, the mechanical stop will have to be
moved in the appropriate direction. See figure SR08.1 for the location of the stop.
