SQUARING BLADE TO FENCE

See Figures 31A - 31C.

This procedure squares the miter angle of the blade to the fence to reduce the risk of bindingand kickback. If the blade is not square to the fence, the yoke assem- bly must be rotated slightly. Have a framing square, a 1/2 in. wrench, and a phillips screwdriverat hand. The blade should be lowered to just clear the table. Release the carriage lock knob.

,_ WARNING: The blade must be angled at 90" to the fence when the handle is at the frontof the

saw. If not, kickback could result during a cross cut. Kickback can cause serious injuryby throw- ing the workpiece toward the operator. In addi- tion, a faulty miter angle on the blade can splinter or burn the cut edges of the workpiece during cross cuts or rip cuts.

•Use the arm lock knob to index and lock the arm in O"miter position (straight forward).

•Pull the yoke assembly forward to the front of the arm. Lock the carriage lock knob.

•Place the short end of the framing square against the fence. Rotate the square to 45" to the table.

Place the long edge across the flat surface of the blade, below the center of the blade. (Do not place the edge against a tooth.)

•Check whether the blade is flat against the edge for the entire length or whether a gap is visible.

•If the blade needs adjustment, remove the right side carriage cover with a phillipsscrewdriver.

•Release the yoke lock handle (below the yoke on the right). With a 1/2 in. wrench, slightlyloosen the two hex bolts holdingthe yoke pivot latch.

•Rotate yoke assembly untilthe gap is eliminated.

•Lock the yoke lock handle. Retightenthe two hex boltson the yoke pivotlatch.

•Replace the carriage cover.

•Loosen the carriage lock knob and guide the yoke assembly to the back of the arm.
