7. use the micro-adjust knob to move the side
support against the saw blade.
Note:
If the jig side support will not reach the
blade, you may need to re-mount the guide
bar in the inward or left mounting position
(refer to
Guide Bar Mounting Configuration
on
Page 10
for detailed instructions). If it still
does not reach the blade after changing the
guide bar mounting position, the difference
can be made up when attaching the side sup-
port backing board (refer to
Step 5
of
Basic
Tenon Cutting
beginning on
Page 16
for
detailed instructions).
— if the jig side support is parallel with the
saw blade, no adjustments are necessary.
— if the side support and blade are not paral-
lel, note the difference and continue with
Step 8.
Note:
If the side support does not quite
reach the blade, use a precise ruler to com-
pare the distance between the side support
and the front and back of the blade.
8. use the micro-adjust knob to align the guide
bar access hole of the slide plate over the
cap screw of the guide bar (see
figure 17),
then loosen the cap screw.
9. shift the end of the jig assembly with the
access hole one way or the other so that the
side support will be parallel with the blade,
then tighten the guide bar cap screw.
10. repeat Steps 7–9 until the jig side support is
parallel to the saw blade.
11. When the side support is parallel with the
blade, use the micro-adjust knob to move the
side support at least
1
⁄
2
" away from the saw
blade.
12. tighten the safety set screw toward the slide
plate lock set screw until it just meets resis-
tance, then tighten the jam nut to secure the
setting. the safety set screw is now correctly
set to prevent the side support from contact-
ing the saw blade.
