HEELING (PARALLELING) THE SAWBLADE TO THE MITER GAGE GROOVE

See Figures 35 - 37.

DO NOT loosen any screws for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are necessary.

Once the screws are loosened, these Items must be reset.

_k WARNING: Make sure the switch is off, the switch key is removed, and your saw is un- plugged. Failure to do so could result in acciden-

tal starting, resultingin serious personal injury.

_l, WARNING: The sawblade must be parallel to the miter gage groove so the wood does not

bind, resulting in kickback.You could be hit or cut.

•Lift the blade guard. Raise the blade all the way by turning the height handwheel.

•Mark one of the sawblade teeth at the front of the blade. Place a framing square beside the blade and just touching the marked tooth. Measure the distance to the right miter gage groove.

•Turn the sawblade so the marked tooth is at the back.

•Move the square to the rear and again measure the

distanceto the right miter gage groove. If the distancesare the same, the blade and the miter gage groove are parallel.
