Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted paral- lel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback will be increased. Take the time to adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will be time well spent.

To adjust the blade parallel to the miter slot:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Use an adjustable square to measure the distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade, as shown in Figure 112. Make sure that the face of the adjustable square is even along the miter slot.

slot.

3.With the end of the adjustable square just touching the tip, lock the square in place. Now, mark the carbide tip with a marker where you made this measurement.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use extra care or wear gloves when handling the blade or working near it.

4.Rotate the marked blade tip to the other end of the table insert.

5.Slide the adjustable square down to the other end of the table insert, and compare the dis- tance from the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable square. 

—If the blade tip does not touch the end of the adjustable square similar to the first measurement, the table will need to be adjusted. Proceed to Step 6.

—If the blade tip measurement is the same on both sides, go to Step 7.

6.To adjust the table, loosen the four cap screws in the table mounting locations (see Figure 113) and slightly tap the table in the needed direction. Repeat Steps 2–5until the blade and miter slot are parallel.

7.Tighten the table mounting cap screws in a criss-cross, alternating manner.
