4.Make note of the difference between the two measurements on a piece of paper.
5.Tilt the blade to 45¡ and repeat Steps
6.If the difference was less than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90û and 45û, skip to the next section. Otherwise, continue on.
7.If the difference was greater than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90û or 45û, the trunnion assembly below the table needs to be adjusted.
8.Remove the saw assembly from the stand.
9.Remove the motor, the fence, the extension wings, and the saw blade.
10.Place the saw assembly upside down on 4x4 blocks to allow the saw blade to rotate freely.
11.Remove the handwheels and the sheet metal body.
12.To maintain the trunnion assembly as one unit, place a bar clamp across the entire trunnion assembly as shown in Figure 61.

Figure 61. Underside view of table/trunnion assembly.
If the blade was not parallel in the 90û position, the correction can be made by loosening the trun- nion bolts and shifting the internal components accordingly.
To shift the trunnion:
1.Loosen the trunnion bolts.
2.Move the trunnion assembly according to the difference measured when the blade was in the 90û position.
3.Tighten the trunnion bolts.
If the blade was not parallel in the 45û position, the correction can be made by shimming between the trunnion and the bottom of the table surface as shown in Figure 62.
