Porter-Cable 617 - Bevel Cut Adjustment

Fig. 5
ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE POSITIVE STOP
Your saw is equipped with an adjustable positive stop at 90 degrees.
To check and adjust the positive stop, proceed as follows:
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. The depth adjustment should be set at its highest position to allow
maximum blade exposure below the base.
3. Turn the saw over and make sure the handle rests on a rigid support.
Loosen bevel adjusting knob (A), Fig. 6, and position the base (B) so
the stop screw (C) contacts the stop (D).
4 . Retract the blade guard and with a square, check to see if the
blade is at 90 degrees to the base, as shown in Fig. 6. If the blade
is not at 90 degrees to the base, turn the stop screw (C) in or out until
you are certain the blade is at 90 degrees to the base when the stop
screw (C) contacts the stop (D), Fig. 6.
