E. Pointer Alignment
1. Use a straight edge, and carefully mark a line 12 feet long on a smooth
level surface.
2. Place the saw blade on the marked line, move the saw to the center of the
marked line and then lower the blade until it is about 1/16” above the
marked line.
3. Measure from each end of the saw frame to insure that the frame is
parallel to the marked line. Adjust the saw as needed.
4. With the blade centered on the marked line and the saw frame parallel to
the marked line, lower the front pointer.
5. Adjust the nylon nuts until the pointer is aligned with the marked line.
