STEP FIVE
Squaring Blade to Rip Fence
NOTE: If alignment procedure steps three and four
were not performed, this adjustment step cannot be
accomplished. This adjustment helps avoid binding
(kickbacks) or splintering of wood surface, or burn-
ing of the kerf.
1. Position carriage as shown and tighten rip lock
handle. Place a framing square against the rip
fence and the saw blade, as shown. The long leg
of the square must be held firmly against both the
fence and the table top, and the short leg must
not touch any of the "out-set" teeth on the saw
blade. Check at several points of blade rotation.
2. If the square does not touch the blade at both of
the two points as shown, a heel condition exists.
3. To correct "heel" condition, proceed as follows:
(a) Unlock swivel lock handle.
