Blade Alignment

5.Loosen the locking lever until it is approxi- mately two-thirds engaged. Tighten the rear adjusting screw until the rear clamp just touches the back rail.

6.Loosen the locking lever and slide the fence along the rail. Return the fence to its position at the edge of the miter slot and slowly apply pressure to the lever. If adjustments are cor- rect, the fence should square itself before the rear clamp engages. If the rear clamp engages before the fence is squared, loosen the screw one quarter turn and re-test.

7.Once the fence is adjusted, check the point- er and adjust if necessary. Figure 29.

5.Replace the table, wings, and insert. Tighten securely.

6.If the blade is still touching the insert, repeat steps 1-6. CHECK ALL OTHER ADJUST-
