HEELING ADJUSTMENT or
PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE TO MITRE GAUGE GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight line
PARALLEL to the
SAWBLADE. Therefore,
both
the
Mitre
Gauge
Groove
and
the Rip
Fence
must
be
PAR-
ALLEL to the Sawblade.
WARNING:
The blade
must
be parallel
to
the
mitre
gauge groove. Misaligned blades could bind
on
workpiece. Workpiece could
suddenly
kickback.
You could be cut
or
hit.
If the sawblade
is not
parallel
to
the
Mitre
Gauge groove,
the blade will
bind
at one
end of
the
cut.
This is known as
"HEELING".
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start,
make
sure
switch
is "OFF"
and
plug is not con-
nected to power
sourece
outlet.
To
check
for
parallelism:
1.
Raise
