6.Adjust the set screws so that the table is square to the blade front-to-back and side-to- side.

Note: Make small adjustments to the set screws, then recheck the alignment of the table with the blade.

7.When the table is 90° to the blade from front-to-back and side-to-side, re-tighten the mounting hex bolts to secure the table align- ment.

Blade Guides

The inserts in the face of the blade guides and the blade support are made of tungsten steel.

With use, the front of the blade guide inserts will wear and it may become difficult to properly adjust the guides to the blade (refer to Adjusting Blade Guides & Support on Page 26). If this is the case, swap and turn over the blade guides so that the inserts are reversed relative to the blade (see Figure 52).

Figure 52. Blade guide and support orientation.

As the blade is deflected back into the blade support during operation, a groove will eventu- ally wear into the blade support. As this groove becomes deeper, it can affect the accuracy of the cut. When this happens, loosen the blade support cap screw and rotate the blade support, as shown in Figure 52.

Note: Make sure to re-adjust the blade guides and support (as directed in Adjusting Blade Guides & Support on Page 26) after making these changes.
