A second way to check is to measure the distance between the miter slot and the slot in
the sliding table. The miter slot is parallel with the saw blade and is a good reference
point.
If adjustment is needed proceed as follows.
1 / Loosen three of the lower clamp nuts. Do not adjust the top bolts , as this will affect
the level of the sliding table. Leave one of the bolts that is close to the main table tight.
2 / Swivel the table towards or away from the main table depending on the direction of the
adjustment that is needed. Note only do very small adjustments.
3 / Tighten the three loosened bolts and re check.
4 / If readjustment is necessary repeat the procedure.
