Sliding Table Parallel

Adjustment

The table is calibrated at the factory, but can be adjusted if it changes during the life of the machine.

Besides the tools included with the saw, this procedure requires you to have a felt tip pen, an adjustable square and a set of feeler gauges, or a dial indicator. Note—Using a dial indicator will provide much more accurate results.

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:

1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

2.Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table), and raise the main blade and scoring blade set up as far as they will go.

3.Make a mark near the edge of the blade with a felt tip pen. This will allow you to take your measurements from the exact same place on the blade.

4.Using an adjustable square or a dial indica- tor, measure the distance (A) between the miter slot and the front of the blade as shown in Figure 93.

and the blade.

5.Rotate the blade 180° and slide the table with the measuring device to position B.

6.Measure the difference between the two positions (use the feeler gauge if using the adjustable square). Make note of the differ- ence between the two measurements on a piece of paper.

—If the gap is the same on both sides, then the sliding table is already parallel with the main blade.

—If the gap on one side is different than the other, then continue with Step 7.

7.Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 4-6.

—If the difference was less than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90° and 45°, then the blade parallelism is correct.

—If the difference was greater than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90° or 45°, then the trunnion assembly below the table needs to be adjusted. Continue with the next step.

8.Open the cover plates under each end of the table as shown in Figure 94, and loosen the table mounting bolts.
