12. Have two people turn the sliding table assem-
bly right side up, then have another person
guide the T-bolts into the mounting holes as
the sliding table is lowered onto the frame.
Important: As you align the sliding table
parallel with the main saw blade in the next
steps, the locating cap screw shown in
Figure 21 must remain against the right side
of the frame before securing the sliding table
in place. This will correctly position the sliding
table with the rest of the machine.

against the right side of the frame.
In the next steps, you will align the sliding
table parallel with the table saw. This is nec-
essary to ensure straight cutting operations
and to prevent workpieces from binding and
kicking back.
13. Move the sliding table all the way back.
14. Tilt the main saw blade to 0° and raise it all
the way up.
15. Use the felt tip pen to mark the right blade
edge that is even with the table.

16. Use the adjustable square and feeler gauges
to measure the distance between the sliding
table T-slot and the main saw blade at the
mark you made in Step 15. This is distance
"A" shown in Figure 22.

17. Move the sliding table all the way forward,
rotate the saw blade so the mark you made
in Step 15 is at location "B", then take the
measurement of "B".
— If the difference is equal to or less than
0.004" between the "A" and "B" mea-
surements, the sliding table parallelism is
acceptable. Continue with Step 21.
— If the difference between the "A" and "B"
measurements is greater than 0.004", the
sliding table parallel adjustment bolts need
to be re-adjusted. Continue with the next
step.
