Now check to see if the blade remains paral-
lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.
8.
Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 1-5. If
the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, con-
tinue with the next section. Otherwise, con-
tinue with the next step.

If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at
90° but not at 45°, the trunnion will need to
be shimmed with metal shim stock. The
shims are placed between the trunnion cor-
ners and the table.
