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 ac-
curate cuts and help prevent kickback, this ad-
justment should be rechecked. If adjustment is
necessary, follow the steps below.
To prevent personal injury, al-
ways dis con nect the plug
from power source before mak ing any ad-
justments.
1. Turn elevation wheel and raise blade as high
as it will go.
2. Select a point on the body of the saw blade that
is set to the left when viewing blade from the
front of saw, and mark with a pencil (Fig. 26).
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 point on the body of the
saw blade at the rear of the table.
4. Rotate blade and check the same marked
point of the saw blade at the front of the table
(Fig. 26).
5. If the front and back measurements, shown in
Figure 26, are not identical, loosen the four
alignment bolts, located on the underside of
the table at the front and rear of the saw with
hex wrench supplied with your saw (Fig. 27 &
28). Carefully move the saw blade until the
blade is parallel to the miter gauge slot, and
securely tighten all four bolts.
