9.Slowly make the adjustments to the parallel- ism adjustment bolts (Figure 95) on the end that is closer to the blade.

3.Use the crosscut fence to cut 12" off of each side of the test piece, then cut side 1 again (make five cuts total).

4.Measure the test piece diagonally from cor- ner-to-corner as shown in Figure 96.

If both measurements are not within 116", then the crosscut fence needs to be adjusted. Proceed to Step 6.

If both measurements are within 116" then you are finished with this procedure.

10.Repeat Steps 4-9until the gap between the blade and the sliding table is equal.

11.Tighten the jam nuts on the parallel adjust- ment bolts to secure them in place

12.Tighten the table mounting bolts and replace the access plates.

Squaring Crosscut

Fence to Blade

Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be square. This procedure can be done by using a piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as necessary.

To square the crosscut fence with the blade:

1.Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid- ing table.

2.Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to 32" x 32" and number all four sides of the test piece.
