ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL TO
MITER GAUGE GROOVE (HEEL)
• Blade
A
must be parallel to miter gauge groove so that
wood does not bind, resulting in kickback. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
• To reduce risk of injury from kickback, align rip fence to blade
A
following any blade adjustments.
DO NOT loosen any screws for this adjustment until alignment has
been checked with a square to be sure adjustments are necessary.
Once screws are loosened, items MUST be reset.
NOTE: Unplug saw. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
Raise the blade
A
to maximum height by turning height adjusting
wheel.

A
(Figure 22). Place a combination square even with front of
saw table and side of saw blade
A
as shown.
2.
Turn blade
A
so that marked tooth (1) is at back. Move
combination square to the rear and again measure the
distance (2). If the distances are the same, blade
A
is
parallel.
If the distances are different:
3.
