Adjustments
Blade Alignment
Tools: 8mm Hex Wrench, Combination Square & Marker
Blade alignment with the miter slot is adjusted at the factory. After a period of use, or after moving the saw to another location, the blade may no longer be aligned properly. To check and align the blade, see Figure 41.
1.Disconnect saw from the power source, unplug.
2.Raise the blade guard up and out of the way of the blade.
3.Unlock fence and move away from the blade so as to expose the right
4.Choose a tooth on the far side of the blade and directly over the insert. Mark the tooth with a marker. Measure the distance from the side of the blade to the right
5.Rotate the blade toward the front so that the marked tooth is just above the insert. Measure the distance from the side of the blade to the right
6.If they are not the same, loosen four hex head screws (A, Fig. 42) that hold the trunnions to the table. Two are shown in Figure 42.
7.Make the needed adjustments to the trunnion assembly and tighten the four hex head screws.
8.Check the alignment once again after tightening hardware.
