Sliding Table
Adjustment
The sliding table features an adjustment bar with
bolts that control how easily the sliding table
moves across the base (see Figure 113). These
adjustment bolts are factory set. They can only be
accessed by removing the end covers from both
ends of the sliding table base and sliding the thin
plate out of the way.

If the adjustment bolts do require adjustments,
turning them counterclockwise increases and
clockwise decreases pressure against the steel
rails. Increasing pressure against the rails reduces
table movement slop, which increases accuracy,
but makes it harder to slide the table. Decreasing
pressure against the rails makes it easier to slide
the table, but increases table movement slop,
which reduces accuracy.
Adjusting this part of the sliding table correctly is
a matter of trial-and-error by making adjustments,
moving the sliding table, then making additional
adjustments and repeating the process until the
sliding table moves as desired. Ideally, the table
will move easily but without any slop.

Squaring Miter
Fence to Blade
The accuracy of the miter fence angle is depen-
dent on the accuracy of the sliding table paral-
lelism adjustment. As long as the sliding table
is adjusted correctly, the miter fence scale will
be reasonably accurate. However, if the project
requires a high degree of accuracy, we recom-
mend squaring the miter fence to the blade manu-
ally with an accurate scale instead of using the
miter scale.
To square the miter fence with the blade:
1.
DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.
Move the blade guard up and out of the way,
so you have access to the blade.
3.
Loosen the miter fence lock handle, so the
fence angle can be adjusted.
4.
Place a square against the blade body (do
not touch the blade teeth), and position the
fence so it is evenly touching the length of the
square, as illustrated in Figure 114.

fence 90° to the blade.
5.
Tighten the miter fence in position. Now you
have accurately set the miter gauge square
to the blade.
