Adjustment

In this procedure you will adjust the guide bar so there is minimal play between the miter slot and guide bar. The jig must slide in the miter slot with- out side-to-side play or tilt.

To adjust the guide bar:

1.Unplug the table saw!

2.Set the guide bar in the left hand miter slot and slide it back and forth to see if there is any play.

—If the guide bar fits snug, but slides free- ly in the miter slot, no adjustment is required. Perform the Work Support Plate Adjustment on this page.

In this procedure you will adjust the work sup- port plate so it is perpendicular to the table. Then you will set the positive stop so the plate can be quickly returned to the perpendicular position after angle cutting.

To adjust the work support plate:

1.Unplug the table saw!

2.Insert the jig and guide bar into the left-hand miter slot and slide the jig into position close to the saw blade.

3.Position a machinist’s square against the table and the work support plate as shown in Figure 9.
