OPERATION
heeling (paralleling) the blade to the miter gauge groove
See Figures 28 - 30.
WARNING:
The blade must be square so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Do not loosen any bolts for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjust- ments are necessary. Once the bolts are loosened, these items must be reset.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade guard and
Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the blade. Place a combination square even with the front of the saw table and the side of the saw blade as shown in figure 28.
Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
Move the combination square to the rear and again measure the distance. If the distances are the same, the
blade is square.
If the distances are different:
Place spreader/riving knife in "down" position then lower the blade.
Loosen adjusting bolts (1) and (3).
NOTE: The adjusting bolts are located under the saw table in the back of the saw.
Turn adjusting bolt (2) left or right until the blade is square.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip fence to the blade following any blade adjust- ments. Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.
