Adjusting Scoring
Blade Kerf
The kerf of the tapered scoring blade included with this sliding table saw is adjusted by changing the height of the scoring blade. See Page 37 for replacement scoring blade adjusting instructions.
To change the scoring blade kerf:
1.Measure the main blade kerf, then measure the scoring blade kerf at the table level.
2.Raise or lower the scoring blade until the kerf matches the kerf of the main blade.
3.Perform a test cut and check for chip out on the underside of the test piece. If there is chip out, make the adjustments necessary to match the kerfs.
Scale Alignment
Before operation, align the rip fence scale with the blade to ensure accurate measurements.

2.Loosen the screws securing the scale, line up the first mark on the scale with the left edge of the rip fence, then tighten the screws.
