blade clearance
adjustment
in this procedure you will adjust the side support
to be parallel with the saw blade and
1
⁄
2
" away
from it, then set the safety stop set screw (see
figure 16 )so that the side support cannot come
into contact with the blade when adjusting for dif-
ferent cuts.
Make sure the side support safety stop is
adjusted correctly so that the support can-
not come in contact with the blade when the
jig is properly mounted in the left-hand table
miter slot before using the jig. The jig side
support must stay at least
1
⁄
2
" away from
the blade at all times during operation. If the
side support and blade make contact, seri-
ous personal injury could result. at best, the
blade and jig will be damaged.
To adjust the blade clearance:
1. disConnECt tABlE sAW FroM
poWEr!
2. Make sure the saw blade is perpendicular to
the table and parallel with the miter slot.
3. Make sure the jig side support is perpen-
dicular to the table (refer to
Side Support
adjustment on page 12 for detailed instruc-
tions).
4. loosen the jam nut on the safety stop set
screw, then back the set screw out so that
it will not interfere with adjustments (see
figure 16).
5. Fully raise the saw blade.
6. loosen the slide plate and micro-adjust lock
levers, then use the clamp handwheel to
move the clamp screw and shoe out of the
way for the next step (see
figure 17).
