To adjust the sliding fit between the movable table and the base, turn nut (A) Fig. 14, clockwise to increase the sliding fit (opposite to decrease the fit). This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the rotating movement of the table, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.
