ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL TO
THE MITER GAUGE SLOTS
The blade was adjusted parallel to the miter
gauge slots at the factory. In order to insure ac-
curate cuts and help prevent kickback, this ad-
justment should be rechecked. If adjustment is
necessary, follow the steps below.
To prevent personal injury,
always disconnect the plug
from the power source before making any ad-
justments.
1. Turn elevation wheel and raise blade as high
as it will go.
2. Select a point on the body of the saw blade that
is set to the left when viewing blade from the
front of saw, and mark 1 with a pencil (Fig. 24).
3. Place the base of a combination square against
the edge of the miter gauge slot, and extend
the sliding rule of square so it just touches the
marked point 1 on the body of the saw blade at
the rear of the table.
4. Rotate blade and check the same marked point
1 of the saw blade at the front of the table (Fig.
24).
5. If the front and back measurements, shown
in Figure 24, are not identical, loosen the four
alignment bolts 2, located on the top of the
table one half turn at the front and rear of the
saw with hex wrench supplied with your saw
(Fig. 25). Carefully move the saw blade until the
blade is parallel to the miter gauge slot using
the combination square, and securely tighten
all four bolts.
MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
To check your miter gauge accuracy, move the
miter gauge in line with blade and use a combi-
nation square to make sure the miter gauge body
is 90 degrees to the blade (Fig. 26). To adjust the
miter gauge for 90 degrees:
1. Loosen lock nut 3, adjustment screw 4, and
lock knob 5.
2. Flip stop plate 6 down.
3. Rotate miter gauge body until it is 90 degrees
to the blade.
4. Tighten lock knob 5.
5. Engage stop plate 6 and tighten adjustment
screw 4 until it contacts stop plate 6.
6. Tighten lock nut 3.
7. If pointer 7 is not pointing to 90 degrees, loosen
set screw 8 on side of miter gauge bar and ro-

and right, repeat steps 1-6, but use 45 degree
stops.
