7. Tighten the tilt lock handle located at
the front of the saw.
8. Loosen the three mounting screws
that hold the front trunnion and the
three mounting screws that hold the
rear trunnion using a 9/16" wrench.
The front center trunnion bolt can be
accessed through the slot for the tilt
lock handle in the front of the saw.
9. Check position of the sawblade in
the table insert slot. There should be
a minimum of 1/8" between the right
edge of the slot and the blade
(viewed from rear of saw). Adjust by
moving the front trunion. Secure by
lightly tightening the front trunion
center bolt.
10. Standing at the rear of the saw,
determine which direction the rear of
the sawblade must move to make it
parallel to the miter slot. To move the
rear of the blade to the right - turn the
micro adjust lever to the left. To move
the rear of the blade to the left - turn
the micro adjust lever to the right.
11. Using the micro adjust lever move
the rear of the blade in the desired
direction. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until
blade is parallel to miter gauge slot.
12. Securely tighten all six screws on the
rear and front trunnion using a 9/16"
wrench.
13. Recheck the marked blade tooth at
the front and rear position to insure
that the adjustment has not moved.
14. If the adjustment moved, loosen the
five bolts (all except front center) and
repeat steps 11-12.
15.When the adjustment is correct
securely tighten all six bolts on the
front and rear trunnion.
NOTE: Maintain a minimum 1/8 inch
clearance between the right side of the
blade and the table insert (viewed from
rear of saw). This insures clearance
when the blade is beveled.
