-24- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw
Blade Alignment
The blade position can be adjusted slightly in
case it contacts the table insert when raised or
tilted. This adjustment can be made either by
moving the whole trunnion assembly, or by just
moving the arbor bracket. Try adjusting by mov-
ing the whole trunnion first, this is the easier of
the two ways.
To adjust the blade position by moving the
trunnion:
1. Disconnect plug from power source.
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to
one side.
3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as
shown in Figure 28, and nudge to either the
left or the right depending on where the
blade is hitting the saw.
The table and wings rep-
resent a very heavy
load. DO NOT over-
exert yourself while lift-
ing or moving the table
and wings – get assis-
tance.

To adjust the blade position by moving the
arbor bracket:
1. Disconnect plug from power source.
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to
one side.
3. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown in Figure
29.
4. To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the
adjustment bolt. Slowly slide the arbor brack-
et towards the end of the shaft.
4. Reattach the table, making sure there is ade-
quate blade clearance through all blade
adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to
the blade and to the table top. Adjust as nec-
essary and tighten down all the bolts before
use.
5. If the blade is still contacting the insert,
repeat Steps 1-4.Check all other adjust-
ments.
6. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,
and adjust as necessary.
