— if the square touches the miter body and
the body of the blade (not the teeth) evenly
at the same time, then it is square to the
blade and the 90° stop is set correctly. no
further adjustments are necessary.
— if the square does not touch the miter body
and blade body evenly at the same time,
then proceed to
Step 4.
5. loosen the hex nut (jam nut) that secures
the 90° stop screw and adjust the stop screw
until it is seated against the shaft while the
square is evenly touching the miter body and
the blade body, then tighten the hex nut.

bar, adjust the pointer to 0°, then tighten the

you followed with the 90°, except using a 45°
square or adjustable square to verify that the miter
body is 45° to the blade, as shown in
Figure 127.
