SECTION 4: ADJUSTMENTS
Miter Slot to Blade
Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot and rip fence are adjusted parallel to the blade. If they are not exactly parallel, your cuts and finished work will be lower in quality. Take the time to adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will be time well spent. CAUTION: Ensure that the table saw is unplugged from its power source before making any adjustments. To check and adjust parallelism between miter slot and blade:
1.Use a piece of tape to mark the blade in the gullet between two (2) teeth closest to the table.
2.Use a steel rule to measure the distance from the mark on the blade to the edge of the miter slot. Figure 16.
3.Rotate the blade 180°.
4.Measure the distance from the mark on the blade to the edge of the miter slot. Figure 17.

5.The difference between distance A and dis- tance B must be equal to or less than 1⁄64".
6.If the difference is greater than 1⁄64", loosen the four (4) table mounting bolts and adjust the table slightly. Figure 18. Repeat steps 1- 5 until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the table mounting bolts when finished.
