2. Blade must already be tensioned and
tr ac k ing properl y .
3. Loosen thumb screw (J) and move guide
bloc k by t urni ng knob (K ) so that t he f ront of
the guide wheels (L) are just behind the
gullet (curved area at base of tooth) of the
blade.
4. Tight en thumb screw (J).
Thrust Bearing
5. Loosen thumb screw (M) and turn knob (N)
to move the support bearing (O) in or out
until the bearing is approximately 0.016” (or
1/64") behind the blade. You can use a
feeler gauge to set this distance, or simply
place a dollar bill folded twice (four
thicknesses) between the support bearing
and the bl ade. (A dol l ar bi ll i s .004” t hi ck, so
four thicknesses provides the necessary
distance.)
6. Tighten thumb screw (M).
7. Loosen the socket screw (P) and turn the
screw ( R) on each gui de wheel to mov e the
guide wheels about .004” from the blade.
Tight en socket screw (P) when fini shed.
Miter Gauge
Refer to Figures 51, 52.
A mit er gauge i s provi ded f or crossc utti ng. Slide
the miter gauge into the T-slot from the edge of
the table.
To use the miter gauge, loosen the handle and
rot ate t he gauge body unt i l t he desired angl e on
the scale lines up with the pointer. Tighten
handle.
For preci se crosscuts, the 90° angl e of t he mit er
gauge to the blade can be verified as follows
(Ref er to Figure 52). A wide blade works be st for
this procedure.
1. Set the miter gauge at 90° .
2. Pl ace a squar e against the mit er gauge and
against the bl ade, as shown.
3. Adjust the miter gauge until the square lies
flush against both it and the blade.
4. Loosen the screw and shift the pointer as
needed. Retighten screw.
The miter gauge, when not in use, can be
placed into the hooks on the stand. See Figure
53. Loosen the miter gauge handle, and slide
the miter gauge into the top hook. Pivot the
miter gauge bar into the lower hook, then tight en
the miter gauge handle to secure the miter
gauge to the stand.
