If the blade appears to be out of alignment with
FIG. 20
OO
the miter slot on the table top, it will require
calibration for alignment. To realign the blade
and miter slot, use the following procedure:
1. Locate the black hex locator screws
(OO) that hold up the trunnion to the
bottom of the table in the rear of the saw.
2. Loosen both screws and align the blade
with the miter slot. Be sure to measure
between the miter slot and the back and
front of the blade to ensure parallelism.
3. Snugly tighten the screws to secure the
trunnion and blade assembly to the table
at the parallel position.
FENCE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 3, 4) (Blade Parallel to Fence)
If you experience fence alignment problems
and want to correct an out of parallel between the fence and the blade, be sure to check the
alignment of the blade to the miter slot first. After confirming that those elements are aligned,
proceed with alignment of the blade to the fence using the following procedure:
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (W) and locate the two fence locator pins (R) that support the
fence on the front and rear rails.
2. Loosen the rear locator pin and adjust the position of the fence in the groove on the fence
until it sets the fence face parallel to the blade. Make sure you measure from the fence face
to the front and back of the blade to ensure alignment.
3. Tighten the locator pins and repeat on the left side of the blade.
4. Check rip scale adjustment.
BEVEL STOP AND POINTER ADJUSTMENT
(Calibrating Bevel Scale)
Calibrating the bevel system on the saw may require two separate steps, one for the bevel
scale and another for the bevel pointer. The scale should always be checked first followed by
adjustments to the red pointer.
BEVEL LOCK ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 21)
The bevel lock lever (J) may need adjustment to maintain lock force.
To do this, put the lock lever in the locked position. Use a cross head screwdriver to remove
the screw (PP) holding the lock lever in place (Fig. 21). Remove the lock lever from the locking
bolt and place lock lever in the desired position. Insert the screw (PP) and tighten securely.

Part A – Adjusting the Bevel Scale System (Fig. 22, 23)
1. Remove the blade guard assembly from the saw and raise the blade all the way up in the
table.
2. Unlock the bevel lock lever (J) and loosen the bevel stop screw (QQ).
3. Place a square against the table and blade.
NOTE:
Be sure to place the square between the teeth on the blade to ensure an accurate
measurement.
4. Adjust the bevel angle until the blade is flat against the square. Lock the bevel lock lever (J).
5. Move the bevel stop cam (RR) until it firmly contacts the trunnion casting. Tighten the bevel
stop screw.
6. Repeat procedure at 45˚ using a triangle or speed square.
Part B – Adjusting the Bevel Scale Pointer
NOTE:
Complete this step only if Part A has been completed.
7. Check the bevel scale angle. If the pointer does not read 0°, loosen the pointer screw (SS)
and move it to the 0° mark on the bevel scale. Retighten the pointer screw.

MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 24) (Calibrating Miter Gauge Pointer)
Your miter gauge features adjustable stops at 90° and 45° left and right.
To adjust the miter gauge, loosen the screw (TT) and move to desired position. Tighten the
screw against the stop plate.

ALIGNING RIVING KNIFE TO BLADE (FIG. 25)
1. Remove the throat plate. Refer to
