7.Now check to see if the blade remains paral- lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45¡.
8.Tilt the blade to 45¡ and repeat Steps
9.If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at 90¡ but not at 45¡, the trunnion will need to be shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims are placed between the trunnion cor- ners and the table.

10.Refer to Figures 43, 44A, 44B and 45, for shim placement. If the distance of A is short- er than B, shim(s) will need to be placed under corners #1 and #2. If the distance of B is shorter than A, shim(s) will need to be placed under corners #3 and #4. Very thin shim stock works well, just make sure they are all the same thickness, and you put an equal number under each of the two corners.
11.Tighten down one trunnion bolt a small amount and then move on to each of the oth- ers, tightening each down the same amount. Continue to rotate through the bolts, tighten- ing them a little each time until they are all secure.
12.Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90¡ and 45¡ by repeating Steps 1-3 and 8. If the distance of A and B are equal to or less than 0.004" at both 90¡ and 45¡, continue to the next section. If the distances are still off by more than 0.004", repeat Steps 4-12.
13.Once you feel you have the miter slot adjust- ed to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are secure. Repeat Step 10 in ÒBlade Guard/SplitterÓ instructions. Also, if you ever loosen the trunnion in the future, be sure to make note of shim placements and reassemble exactly how it came apart.
