You want the teeth facing downwards. Another important adjustment is the blade tracking. You want the blade riding on the center of both wheels. The manual tells you how to adjust that.

You'll love that saw, it's great.

It seems like it could be anywhere between 1 and 2, adjust so that it's square to the table.
I don't own that saw though, maybe I'm confused.
