ALIGNING THE ARM FOR CROSS CUTS
See Figures 29A -29C.
This procedure checks whether the arm is exactly 0"
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 table in
place. You willneed a framing square, a 3/16 in. hex
key, and a pencil.
_1, WARNING: Be sure the saw is unplugged
before performing these adjustments. Accidental
start-up could resultin serious personal injury.
•Firstcheck the framing square byfitting one side
against the backedge of the table. Lightlydraw a
line onthe table along the edge of the square in
the middle of thetable. Flip the square over. If the
edge still matches the line with no gaps or over-
laps, the square is true.
