3.
Place straightedge along blade so it barely
touches both front and back of blade without
going across a tooth (see Figure 32).
4.
Measure distance between straightedge and
miter slot (see Figure 32). Distance should
be same at front and back of table.
— If distance is same at front and back of
table, no adjustment is necessary.
— If distance is not same at front and back
of table, it must be adjusted; proceed to
Step 5.

2.
Place a square on table and against back
of blade, as illustrated in Figure 34. Table
should be perpendicular to back of blade.
— If the table is perpendicular to the back
of the blade, no adjustment is necessary;
proceed to Aligning Fence on Page 28.
— If the table is not perpendicular to the back
of the blade, you must shim the table; pro-
ceed to Step 3.
