Worm Gear
The degree of resistance at the blade height handwheel can be adjusted to compensate for wear or for personal preference. To adjust:
1.Loosen the lock nut (A) shown in Figure 48. This will allow the eccentric sleeve that sur- rounds the worm gear to turn. Although this process can be done with the handwheel in place, you may find it easier to remove it first.

2.As you watch from below, twist the pointer assembly at the front of the saw. As you turn the pointer, youÕll see the worm gear move toward and away from the teeth on the front trunnion. Ideally, the worm gear should mesh with the teeth without slop or excess tightness. This process requires a bit of trial and error.
3.Once you have found a degree of tightness that you prefer, tighten the lock nut.
4.Loosen the setscrew (B) and pivot the point- er back to zero. Retighten the setscrew. Replace the handwheel.
Miter Gauge
Initial Step, Model G1022ZF and ZFX:
The ZF/ZFX miter gauge has two setscrews in the miter slot bar which can be set to remove any free play from the miter gauge when inserted in the
Next step for all models:
1.Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and place a square against the face of the miter body and the blade.
2.Adjust the miter body until there is no space between the square and the blade. Tighten the lock knob.
3.With the stop link in the up position, loosen the jam nut and adjust the stop screw shown in Figure 49 until it is seated against the stop link.
4.Now loosen the setscrew on the left front side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90û and retighten the setscrew.
5.To adjust to 45û, follow Steps
6.After rotating the miter body from 45û to 90û and back a few times, double check your adjustments at both angles to assure that you have accurately set your miter gauge.
