Align The Blade To The Table - Delta ShopMaster S26-272L Instruction Manual

ALIGN THE BLADE TO THE TABLE

Refer to Figure 11.
1. Unplug the saw
2. Lower the saw arm all the way down to the transport
position and engage the lock pin to hold it in place.
3. Rotate the miter lock handle (A). Position the table so
that the miter scale indicator ( B) reads 0°.
4. Rotate the miter lock handle (A) to the locked
position so that the table will not move.
5. Loosen bevel lock knob (D) and adjust the angle of
saw arm so that it comes to rest against the 0° bevel
stop (as indicated on the bevel scale). This positions
the blade at 90° to the table.
6. Securely tighten bevel lock knob (D).
Refer to Figure 12.
7. Place a combination square (E) against the table and
the face of the saw blade (F).
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of
the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-
table alignment at several points.
9. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in Figure 12.
10. If the top or bottom of the blade face is not flush with
the square, refer to Figure 13 below and perform the
following steps.
11. Loosen bevel lock knob (G).
12. Adjust positive stop adjustment screw (H) to bring
saw blade into alignment with the square. See
"Positive Stop Screw" in the Adjustment section of
this manual for more detailed instructions.
13. Re-tighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-blade
alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check
alignment of the blade to the miter table at both 0° and
45° angles.
NOTE: The saw has two scale indicators, one on the
bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring
adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to
loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
