ALIGNING THE ARM FOR CROSS CUTS

See Figures 29,4 - 2gC,

This procedure checks whether the arm is exscfiy O" for cross cut travel by checking the blade against the table and the miter indicator. Remove the rear table, spacer table, and fence, but leave the front ta_e in place. You will need a framing square, a 3/16 in. hex key, and a pencil,

_k WARNING: Be sure the saw is unplugged before performingthese adjustments. Accidental

start-up could result in serious personal injury.

•First check the framing square by fitting one side against the back edge of the table. Lightlydraw a line on the table along the edge of the square in the middle of the table. Flip the square over. If the edge still matches the line with no gaps or over- tape, the square is true.
