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.
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
6.Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments, and adjust as necessary.
