Miter Slot to Blade

Adjusting your table saw so that the miter slot is parallel to the blade reduces the risk of kickback and increases cutting accuracy.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use extra care when handling the blade or work- ing near it. Serious injury is possible.

To adjust the miter slot to the blade:

1.Disconnect the table saw from the power source.

2.Mark the blade in the gullet between the two teeth closest to the table.

3.Use an adjustable square to measure the distance from the mark on the blade to the edge of the miter slot as shown in Figure 21.

4.Rotate the blade 180¡ and measure the dis- tance between the mark on the blade to the edge of the miter slot as shown in Figure 22.

5.If the gap between the blade and the adjustable square is greater than .004", loosen the table mounting bolts shown in Figure 23 and adjust the table. NoteÑIf you dont have a .004" feeler gauge to measure the gap, a dollar bill is approximately .004".

6.Repeat steps 2-6until the miter slot is paral- lel to the blade.

7.Tilt the blade to 45¡ and repeat steps 1-5. If the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, con- tinue on to the ÒMiter GaugeÓ instructions. Otherwise, continue with the next step.

8.If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at 90¡ but not at 45¡, the table will need to be shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims are placed under the table over each of the four table mount holes shown in Figure 23.
