W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

8.Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 2-6. If the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, continue on to the Blade Alignment procedure. Otherwise, con- tinue with the next step.

9.If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at 90° but not at 45°, the table will need to be shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims are placed under the table over each of the three table mounting bolts.

10.Refer to Figures 72 and 73 for shim placement. If the distance of A is shorter than B, shim(s) will need to be placed under corners #1 and #2. If the distance of B is shorter than A, shim(s) will need to be placed under corner #3. Very thin shim stock works well.

11.Tighten down one bolt a small amount and then move on to each of the others, tightening each down the same amount. Continue to rotate through the bolts, tightening them a little each time until they are all secure.

12.Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90° and 45° by repeating Steps 2-6. If the distance of A and B are equal, continue to the Blade Alignment proce- dure. If the distances are still off, repeat Steps 10- 13.

13.Once you feel you have the miter slot adjusted to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are secure. Also, if you ever remove the table in the future, be sure to make note of shim placements and reassemble exactly how it came apart.

Blade Alignment

If the blade contacts the table insert when raised or tilt- ed, the blade must be aligned by moving the table.

To adjust the blade by moving the table, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the three table mounting bolts (Page 51) with a 17mm wrench and adjust the table until the blade does not contact the insert. Tighten all the mounting bolts.

3.Make sure the blade does not contact the table insert when raised or tilted. Recheck parallelism of the blade to the miter slot (see Page 51). Adjust as necessary until the blade does not touch the insert.
