ASSEMBLE AND ADJUSTMENTS
CHECK HEELING (PARALLELING) OF THE SAW BLADE
TO THE MITER GAGE GROOVE
See Figures 7 and 8.
DO NOT loosens any screws until you have checked with a
square and made sure adjustments are necessary. Once the
screws are loosened, these items must be reset.
WARNING
Make sure the switch is off, and your saw is
unplugged. Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING
The saw blade must be parallel to the miter gauge
groove so the wood does not bind, resulting in kickback.
You could be hit or cut.

• Lift the blade guard. Raise the blade all the way by
turning the height hand wheel.
• Mark beside one of the saw blade teeth at the front of
the blade. Place a framing square beside the blade on
the mark. Be sure the framing square is between
the teeth and flat against the blade. Measure
the distance to the right miter gauge groove.
• Turn saw blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
CHECKING SQUARENESS OF EXTENSION TABLES SAW
TABLE
See Figure 9 and 10.
The extension wing should be checked for squatness to the
saw table for smooth operation of the rip fence and rails.
Place a square on the saw table, with the short end up and
check .The long end of the square should extend across one
of the extension wing. If the extension wing, proceed as follow

• Move the square to the rear and again measure
the distance to the right miter gage groove.
If the distances are the same, the blade and the miter
gauge groove are parallel. No adjustments are needed.
• If the distances measured are different, adjust the table
bracket underneath the saw. See "Heeling (Paralleling)
The Saw blade To The Miter Gauge Groove"
in the Adjustments section.
• Loosen the two hex nuts (one for each rail) securing
the front and rear rails to the extension wing.
Do not loosen hex nuts securing rails to saw table.
• Raise or lower extension wing until it is square with
the saw table.
• Tighten hex nuts securely.
• Check extension table on opposite side of blade.
Repeat the above procedure until it reaches the Squares.
