ADJUSTMENTS
ALIGNING TABLE T-SLOT PARALLEL WITH BLADE
The table T-slot must be aligned parallel with the blade. Using a combination
square (A) Fig.20, measure the distance from the back edge of the blade to the
table T-slot. Pivot blade forward 180º and remeasure the distance using the
exact same point on the blade. The difference between both measurements
must be equal to or less than 1/64”.
If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four cap screws (A) Fig.21 which fix
the table top to the cabinet, make the needed adjustment to the table top
position until both measurements are equal or less than 1/64” and retighten the
four cap screws (A).
ALIGNING BLADE GUARD SPLITTER OR RIVING KNIFE WITH BLADE
The blade guard splitter and/or riving knife must be aligned with the blade. If not
properly aligned, the splitter/riving knife will force the workpiece sideways
during the cut, increasing risk of kickback.
Place a straightedge against the blade and the splitter or riving knife and check
for parallelism. If an adjustment is needed, the mounting position can be
adjusted into alignment with the blade using the adjustment set screws (A)
Fig.22.
1. Disconect saw from power source.
2. Remove the table insert.
3. Loosen the upper and lower cap screws (B) Fig.22, then adjust the 4 set
screws in or out until the alignement is perfectly parallel.
4. Reinstall the table insert.
For safety reasons, the highest point of the riving knife (A) Fig.23 should never
exceed the highest point of the blade teeth, generally 1/8” to 3/16” (1-5mm).
