Assembly (continued)

7.Tighten the tilt lock handle located at the front of the saw.

8.Loosen the three mounting screws that hold the front trunnion and the three mounting screws that hold the rear trunnion using a 9/16" wrench. The front center trunnion bolt can be accessed through the slot for the tilt lock handle in the front of the saw.

9.Check position of the sawblade in the table insert slot. There should be a minimum of 1/8" between the right edge of the slot and the blade (viewed from rear of saw). Adjust by moving the front trunion. Secure by lightly tightening the front trunion center bolt.

10.Standing at the rear of the saw, determine which direction the rear of the sawblade must move to make it parallel to the miter slot. To move the rear of the blade to the right - turn the micro adjust lever to the left. To move the rear of the blade to the left - turn the micro adjust lever to the right.

11.Using the micro adjust lever move the rear of the blade in the desired direction. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until blade is parallel to miter gauge slot.

12.Securely tighten all six screws on the rear and front trunnion using a 9/16" wrench.

13.Recheck the marked blade tooth at the front and rear position to insure that the adjustment has not moved.

14.If the adjustment moved, loosen the five bolts (all except front center) and repeat steps 11-12.

15.When the adjustment is correct securely tighten all six bolts on the front and rear trunnion.

NOTE: Maintain a minimum 1/8 inch clearance between the right side of the blade and the table insert (viewed from rear of saw). This insures clearance when the blade is beveled.
