Sliding Table Parallel
Adjustment
The table is calibrated at the factory, but can be adjusted slightly if it is not parallel to the blade.

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:
1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table), and raise the main blade up to the maximum height.
3.Mark one of the blade teeth with a felt tip pen. This will be your reference point when taking measuring points, so you take them in the same location each time.
4.Move the sliding table all the way back, and measure the distance "A" in Figure 118, between the marked tooth and the edge of the miter slot.

and blade.
5.Rotate the blade 180°, move the sliding table all the way forward, and measure the dis- tance between "B" in Figure 118.
6.Note the difference between the two posi- tions.
—If the gap is the same on both sides or the difference is 0.004" or less, no adjustments to the table parallelism need to be made.
—If the difference is greater than 0.004", then the sliding table parallelism must be adjusted. Proceed to Step 7.
7.Loosen the sliding table mounting nuts (see Figure 119) at both mounting locations.
