Adjusting Blade Parallel To
The Miter Gauge Slots
The blade was adjusted parallel to the miter gauge slots at the factory. In order to insure accurate cuts and help prevent kickback, this adjustment should be rechecked. If adjustment is necessary, follow the steps below.
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the ! WARNING plug from power source before making any
adjustments.
1. Turn elevation wheel and raise blade as high as it will go.
2. Select a tooth on the rear of saw blade that is set to the left when viewing blade from the front of saw, and mark 1 this tooth with a pencil.
3. Place the base of a combination square against the edge of the miter gauge slot, and extend the sliding rule of square so it just touches the marked tooth.
4. Rotate blade and check the same marked blade tooth at the front of the saw table (Fig. 8).
5. If the front and back measurements, shown in Figure 8, are not identical, loosen the four alignment bolts 2, located on the underside of the table at the front and rear of the saw with hex wrench supplied with your saw (Fig. 9 & 10). Carefully move the saw blade until the blade is parallel to the miter gauge slot, and securely tighten all four bolts.
Adjusting Table Extension
To extend the table, raise the table extension lock handle 3 and slide table extension 4 to desired width. To secure table setting, lower the lock handle 3.
Table Pointer Adjustment
If an adjustment to the table pointer is necessary, loosen pointer adjustment screw 5, adjust pointer 6 and tighten screw 5 (Fig. 11).
The table pointer should always be adjusted relative to fence pointer.
1.Adjust fence pointer to (zero).
2.Slide fence until it hits stop plate 7 on front rail and lock fence in place.
3.Lock at fence pointer to see distance moved on lower scale (at or near 13".)
4.Adjust table pointer 6 to have the same reading on upper scale as that shown on the fence pointer. Both pointers must agree when fence is at this position.
