Blade Tilt Stops - Grizzly G0899 Owner's Manual

Blade Tilt Stops

The table saw features stop collars that stop the
blade exactly at 45° and 90° when tilting it with
the handwheel. The stops have been set at the
factory and should require no adjustments, unless
you notice that your cuts are not accurate.
Note: The tilt scale reads "0" when the blade is
90° to the table.

Setting 90° Stop Collar
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Raise blade as high as it will go, then tilt it
toward 0° until it stops and cannot be tilted
any more.
3. Place 90° square against table and blade so
it contacts blade evenly from bottom to top,
as shown in Figure 112. Make sure blade
tooth does not obstruct placement of square.
