Assembly (continued)
6 Lay a piece of flat straight wood and a square on saw table and rotate the spreader support until the bracket is aligned with square.
7 Make sure end of support, bracket and rod are even Using a 1/8 inch hex "L" wrench, tighten the set screws only Check that the spreader support cannot be rotated on the spreader rod
Important: To work properly, the spreader must always be parallel to the sawblade and adjusted so the cut work- piece will pass on either side of the spreader without binding or skewing to the side
NOTE: The spreader is thinner than the width of the kerr by approximately six thicknesses of paper
