Page 14: Adjustments
Lock the carriage. Adjustments The 511 Panel Saw is preset at the factory, so no adjustments should be necessary at first. However, certain alignments should be checked, and as the saw gets more use adjustments may be needed. -

To ensure accuracy over the full movement of the saw, construct a test square as follows,... - Page 17 Step 2: Align Guides Disconnect saw from power source before aligning the guides. If the saw does not cut at 90 degrees, the guides may not be perpendicular to the rollers. Adjust as follows: 1. Make sure the rollers are aligned.
