HEELING
(PARALLELING)
THE BLADE
See Figures 33 - 35.
_t,
WARNING:
The blade must be square so the wood
does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
Do not loosen any screws for this adjustment until you
have checked with a square and made test cuts to be
sure adjustments are necessary. Once the screws are
loosened, these items must be reset.
[] Unplug the saw.
[] Lift the blade guard. Raise the blade all the way by
turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.
[] Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the
blade. Place a framing square even with the front of the
saw table and the side of the saw blade as shown in
figure 33.
[] Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
[] Move the framing square to the rear and again measure
the distance. If the distances are the same, the blade is
square.
If the distances
are different:
[] Extend the extension table (see page 27).
[] Loosen adjusting bolts (1) and (3).
NOTE: The adjusting bolts are located above the
height/bevel adjusting handwheel and under the saw
table in the front of the saw.
[] Turn adjusting bolt (2) left or right until the blade is
square.
NOTE: If the back of the blade was too far from the
framing square, place a block of wood on the left side
of the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is
square. Retighten the bolts.
[] If the back of the blade was too close to the fram-
ing square, place a block of wood on the right side of
the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is
square. Retighten the bolts.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from
kickback, align the rip fence to the blade following
any blade adjustments. Always make sure the rip
fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any
operation.
