This adjustment has been made at the factory
and should not need to be adjusted under normal
circumstances. However, if you find the saw is not
cutting square, you may need to adjust the blade.
Only make this adjustment after ruling out other
potential factors, such as excessive feed rate or
the blade guide being set too far away from the
workpiece.
