Adjusting Blade Parallel To The
Miter Gauge Slots
The blade was adjusted parallel to the miter gauge slots at the
factory. In order to insure accurate cuts and help prevent kickback,
this adjustment should be rechecked. If adjustment is necessary,
follow the steps below.
If the blade is misaligned by more than 1/8",
do not attempt to align or operate the saw.
Have a qualified service technician perform blade
alignment.
1. Turn elevation wheel and raise blade as high as it will go.
2. Select a tooth on the rear of saw blade that is set to the left
when viewing blade from the front of saw, and mark this tooth
with a pencil.
3. Place the base of a combination square against the edge of the
miter gauge slot, and extend the sliding rule of square so it just
touches the marked tooth (Fig. 43).
4. Rotate blade and check the same marked blade tooth at the
front of the saw table (Fig. 44).
5. If the front and back measurements are not identical, loosen
blade tilt lock handle and loosen the four alignment screws 1. If
you cannot loosen a screw, then loosen the corresponding hex
nut on the bottom side of table. Carefully move the saw blade
until the blade is parallel to the miter gauge slot, and securely
tighten all four screws. ATTENTION: If adjustment cannot be
achieved by loosening the four alignment screws 1, loosen the
two secondary alignment screws 2 only if it is absolutely
necessary to make this adjustment. (Fig. 44)
Changing The Blade
To prevent personal injury, always discon-
nect plug from power source before
changing blades.
1. Turn elevation wheel clockwise until the blade is up as high as it
will go, remove the two insert screws and lift the table insert 3
out of the pocket of the table (Fig. 45).
2. Place open end arbor wrench 4 on flats on inside blade flange to
keep the saw arbor from rotating. Rotate arbor nut
counterclockwise with the closed arbor nut wrench 5 and remove
arbor nut 6 and outer washer 7.
3. Assemble new blade, making certain the TEETH OF THE
BLADE ARE POINTING DOWN AT THE FRONT OF THE
TABLE. NOTE: The printing on saw blades are not always on
the same side.
4. Assemble outer washer, arbor nut and securely tighten arbor nut
clockwise while holding arbor steady with the arbor wrench (Fig.
45).
5. Position table insert in pocket of table so notches 8 on insert 3
are facing toward the blade and secure in place with the screws
provided.
