Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule,
try-square, etc. by turning the hex bolt on the right
side of the arm clockwise. Turn the hex bolt on the
left side of the arm clockwise as far as it will go.
Then tighten the lever securely.
Make sure that the two pointers on the arm point to
each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If they
do not point to 0°, loosen the screws which secure
the pointers and adjust them so that they will point
to 0°.
(2) 45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the left 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the side of the arm holder
until the pointer points to 45°.
To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the same
procedure described above.
Adjusting for smooth beveling action
The hex lock nut holding together the arm and arm holder
has been factory adjusted to assure smooth beveling action
and to guarantee precise cutting. Do not tamper with it.
Should looseness develop at the arm and arm holder con-
nection, tighten the hex lock nut using a wrench.
