squareness.

—If there is no gap between the square and the guide post along its full length, no adjustments need to be made. Proceed to "To check/adjust if the guide post is parallel with the blade front-to-back."

—If there is a gap between the square and the guide post, the guide post is not parallel to the blade. Go to Step 7.
