Installing Blade/Squaring Crosscut Travel

NOTE: This adjustment helps ensure the blade accurately travels square to the rip fence.

1.Index arm at 0° miter and lock.

2.Install sawblade as shown. Motor shaft has left handed threads - turn nut counter- clockwise to tighten.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrench to “snug” nut in place. Overtightening could dis- tort the blade collars and cause blade to wobble.

3.Lower arm until saw blade just clears the front table. Be sure the miter lock handle and the bevel lock handle are locked.

4.Place a framing square on the table as shown and position the blade and square until the leg of the square just contacts a tooth of the blade. Mark this tooth with a pencil.

NOTE: The framing (or combination) square must be “true” - see illustration for checking method.

5.When the carriage is moved slowly back and forth on the arm, the marked tooth should just touch the square at all points. If marked tooth moves into or away from square, follow the adjustments as described in your saws original owners manual. If you no longer have your saws owners manual call Customer Service at 1-800-325-1184. Have your saws model number ready when you call.
