ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN MOVABLE TABLE AND BASE

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

To adjust the sliding fit between the movable table and the base, turn the nut (A) Fig. 15 clockwise to tighten the fit (counter-clockwise to loosen the fit). This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the rotating movement of the table, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.
