2o Lay combination square or accurate steel square against fence as shown in Figure 15 and position until it just contacts a blade tooth (See A, figure 15). Mark this tooth.
3_ When the carriage is moved back and forth on radial arm saw toofi_"A" should iust touch square at all po_itions.
tf saw tooth "A" does not touch square as in step 3, adjust as fellows:
a.If saw tooth "A" (Figure 15) moves away from the square when moving the blade from the rear to the front of the
table, completely loosen the three screws holding the table to the channel on the efthand side of the table
_nd slightly loosen those on the right side of the tableo Slightiy tighten the left table clamp (Item 1, Position 4,

bo Tighten all table screws first, then both table damps. Recheck blade squareness again.
c.Reverse this procedure if tooth "'A"moves into the square when moving the saw blade from the rear to the front of the table.
tn some cases, the above adjustment may not be sufficient. if this is the case, adjust as follows:
_. Remove three screws (Item 1 and 2, figure 16), indicator

e.Retightee hex head screws (Item 5, figure 16) and arm latch handte.
f.Recheck blade tooth "A" travel with square.
g_ After blade is square to fence reassemble radial arm cap and indicator using screws (item 1 and 2, figure 16). Set indicator at 0 °.
