Tilt blade to 45° and recheck miter slot-to-blade
parallelism.
— If blade is still parallel with miter slot, no addi-
tional adjustments need to be made.
— If blade was parallel with miter slot at 0° but not
at 45°, one end of table will need to be shimmed
higher with metal shim stock. Continue to
Step.9

Loosen (4) table mounting bolts from
Step.6
.

. Refer to
Figures.109–110
for shim placement. If
distance A is shorter than B, shim(s) will need to be
placed under corners #1 and #2. If the distance of
B is shorter than A, shim(s) will need to be placed
under corner #3. Very thin shim stock works well.
11.
Tighten one table mounting bolt a small amount and
then repeat with the others, tightening each down
the same amount. Continue this process with all the
bolts, tightening them a little each time until they
are all secure.
12.
Now recheck blade to miter slot at 0° and 45° by
repeating
Steps.2-5
.
— If distance of A and B
are
equal, continue to
Step.

.
— If distances are not equal, repeat
Steps 9–12.

Once miter slot is adjusted to blade, recheck all
measurements and be sure table mounting bolts are
secure.
Note:.
If you remove the table in the future, note the
shim placements and reassemble them exactly how
they came apart.
