ALIGNING THE MITER SLOTS TO THE BLADE
The saw table was aligned at the factory so that the miter gauge slots are parallel to the saw blade. However, check the alignment before initial operation.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
1.Place a combination square (A) Fig. 39 on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gauge slot. Adjust the square so that the ruler touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position (Fig. 39). Lock the square in this position.
2.Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth used in STEP 1 is in the rear position (Fig. 40)
3.To adjust, loosen the two hex head bolts (B) Fig. 15 that hold the rear trunnion to the saw table.
4.Use a rubber mallet (or a regular hammer and a block of wood) to tap the trunnion (C) until the saw blade is in the center of the table insert slot, and parallel to the miter gauge slot.
5.Tighten the two hex head bolts that were loosened in STEP 3.
6.Tilt the blade to 45°. Turn the saw blade by hand to ensure that it does not contact the table insert. Check this distance. Both the front and rear measurements should be identical.
