TO ADJUST THE MITER FENCE
■
Set the miter fence (H) at 0
°
as shown in figure 56.
Miter indicator (I) should be set precisely on 0
°
and
secured in place with adjusting clamp (J).
■
There are four slides located under the sliding
miter table. These slides let the miter table move
on the base. Three slides are mounted on
eccentric screws that can be adjusted by loosening
the hex nuts on top of the miter table.
See Figure 58.
■
Loosen the rear hex nuts (Q) on top of sliding
miter table for this adjustment procedure.
Note: The front screws (R) are only needed to
remove excessive play in the slides due to wear
from extended use. They are not needed for this
procedure. The right front hex nut is a non-
eccentric pivot and should never be loosened.
■
Adjust the right rear eccentric screw from the lower
side of the miter table so that maximum play exists
between the slide and miter base.
■
Push left rear of miter table snugly against miter
base as shown by the arrow (S) in figure 59 and
secure.
■
Place a framing square firmly against the miter
fence, with the other side against the blade.
■
Adjust left rear screw from underneath miter table
until miter fence and blade are square with each
other.
■
Tighten hex nut securely.
■
Adjust right rear screw from underneath miter table
to remove excessive play.
■
Tighten hex nut securely.
■
Recheck your setups carefully. Also make sure all
screws, hex nuts, etc. have been tightened
securely.
■
If sliding miter table assembly is still not square
with the blade, repeat the above procedures as
needed.
■
Make sure that slides remain square to miter base
edge to prevent “cocking” which will result in
excessive play in miter table.
