Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot and the rip fence are parallel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your fin- ished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback will be increased. Take the time to adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will be time well spent.

)% Use an adjustable square to measure the distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade, as shown in =`^li\0/. Make sure that the face of the adjustable square is even along the miter slot.

*% With the end of the adjustable square just touching the tooth or carbide tip, lock the square in place. Now, mark the carbide tip with a marker where you made this measurement.

+% Rotate the marked blade tip to the other end of the table insert.

,% Slide the adjustable square down to the other end of the table insert, and compare the distance from the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable square.

If the blade tip measurement is not the same, the table will need to be adjusted. Proceed to Jk\g-.

If the blade tip measurement is the same on both sides, go to Jk\g..

-%To adjust the table, loosen the four cap screws in the table mounting locations (see =`^li\00) and slightly tap the table in the needed direction. Repeat Jk\gj )Æ,until the blade and miter slot are parallel.

.% Tighten the table mounting cap screws in a crisscross, alternating manner.
