HEELING(PARALLELING) THE BLADE TO THE

MITER GAUGE GROOVE

See Figures 36 - 38.

_ll WARNING: The blade must be parallel to the miter

gauge groove so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

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.

[]	Unplug the saw.
[]	Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback				pawls.
	Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
	handwheel.
[]	Mark beside one of the		blade teeth at the front			of the
	blade. Place a combination square even with the front
	of the saw table and the side of the saw blade as
	shown in figure 36.
[] Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
[]	Move the combination		square to the rear and			again
	measure the distance. If the distances are the same,
	the blade is square.
If the distances are different:
[]	Place spreader/riving knife in "down"			position.
[]	Loosen adjusting	screws in the front		and	back	of the
	saw.
	NOTE: The adjusting screws are located above the
	height/bevel adjusting handwheel and under the saw
	table in the front of the saw.
[]	If the back of the blade		was too far from the combina-
	tion square, place a block of wood on the left side of
	the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is
	square. Retighten	the screws.
	If the back of the blade was too close to the combina-
	tion square, place a block of wood on the right side of
	the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is
	square.					1
[]	Retighten the screws.

_ll WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip fence to the blade following any blade adjustments. Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.
