CHECKING SLIDING MITER TABLE

ASSEMBLY

,_, WARNING: For illustration purposes, the blade guard and anti-kickbackpawls have been removed. Do not operate your saw without the blade guard unless specifically instructed to do so for non-through cuts.

TO CHECK MITER BASE PARALLELISM

_, WARNING: Begin by unplugging your saw. Failure to unplug saw could result in accidental

starting causing possible serious injury.

Set saw up as if you were preparing to make a cut.

Tighten rail clamps, miter _ocking clamps, ad}usting clamp, etc.

Slide miter table (A) to the front of miter base (B) as far as it will go. Place a reference mark (C) near

the end of the miter table as shown in figure 54. Note: Front of miter base is on infeed side of saw.

Place a reference mark on one of the blade teeth

(D)and rotate the blade (E) so that the reference mark on the blade is at the front of the throat plate

Place a framing square (G) against the blade and align with reference mark on miter table. Measure

the distance between the blade and the edge of miter table.

Note: Place framing square between carbide teeth and measure from blade. This step wi_Zinsure

framing square is square against blade from the front to back of blade.

Remove framing square and slide miter table to the rear of miter base as far as it will go.

See Figure 55.

Rotate the blade so the reference mark on the

blade is at the rear of the throat plate. Measuring from the same mark on the blade at the rear will eliminate the effect of blade wobble.

Place framing square against the blade and align with the same reference mark on the miter table. Measure the distance between the blade and the

edge of the miter table at the rear.

Compare whether the front and rear

measurements are the same. If they are the same, proceed with checking the miter fence alignment. If not, this indicates the miter base needs aligning.

Miter base must then be adjusted before checking

miter fence alignment. See "To Adjust The Miter Base" section that follows.
