2. Remove flanged hex bolt 21 and remove clamping plate 22

(Fig. 21).

3. Position spreader 6 over bumps 9, then position clamping

plate 22 as shown over bumps 9 and securely tighten flanged

hex bolt 21 (Fig. 21).

4. Loosen hex nut 20 and back out set screw 19 three turns with

a flat tip screwdriver. Loosen flanged hex bolts 23 three turns

with the 10 mm open end wrench (Fig. 23).

5. Raise the saw blade to maximum height and make sure it is

perpendicular to the table.

6. Place rip fence 2 on table and CAREFULLY move fence 2

against the blade so that it is parallel to the blade, and just

touches tips of saw teeth 10. The guard and ANTIKICKBACK

PAWL of the Spreader Assembly have to be lifted and rested on

top of the rip fence in order to bring the fence in contact with the

blade. Lock fence 2 and make sure the blade at front and back

is still touching the fence (Fig. 23).

7. Using the fence 2 as a guide, align the spreader 6 with the

plane of the sawblade. Since the spreader 6 is thinner by

approximately three thicknesses of paper on each side than the

width of the blade’s KERF 11 (Fig. 24) you must make a

temporary paper “spacing gauge”. Make two folds in a small

piece (6" x 6") of ordinary newspaper making three thicknesses

(Fig. 22).

8. Insert folded paper 18 between SPREADER and FENCE.

Hold spreader 6 by hand firmly against fence 2 while finger

tightening the hex bolts 23 then lightly tighten the set screw 19

(Fig. 23).

9. Release the hand hold of the spreader and fence and recheck

the spreader alignment with the blade. Readjust if necessary.

IMPORTANT: The plane of the Spreader 6 must always be IN

LINE with the plane of the sawblade 10 when blade is

perpendicular to the table or at any bevel angle .

10. After proper alignment adjustment is made, tighten hex nut

20 and securely tighten flanged hex bolts 23.
