Miter Slot To Blade Parallelism - Grizzly Polar Bear G0833P Owner's Manual

Miter Slot to Blade
Parallelism
Your table saw will give the best results if the
miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted paral-
lel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly
parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be
lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of
kickback will be increased.
