Square Blade To Table For Crosscutting - RIDGID SP6263 Owner's Manual

Square Blade to Table for Crosscutting

The goal of this adjustment is to make the
blade square to the table so that crosscuts
will be accurate; otherwise all crosscuts will
have a slight bevel angle.
1. Lower blade until it just clears front table.
Lock miter arm lock lever in the 0° miter
position. Tighten yoke lock handle, carriage
lock knob and bevel lock lever.
2. Place a framing square on the table with
the short leg against the saw blade and long
leg parallel to fence. Do not allow the square
to rest against a "set-out" tooth; it must rest
flat against the blade side.
3. If the saw blade is square with the table
top (no visible gap appears between the saw
blade and square) no adjustment is required.
Set bevel indicator to 0° reading. If the
square does not touch the saw blade as
shown (with square leg held firmly against
the table top), perform the following adjust-
ments:
