Checking Blade Squareness To Table; Sawblade Parallelism; Attaching Table Extensions - Craftsman 113.24250 Owner's Manual

CHECKING BLADE SQUAR ENESS TOTABLE
1. Loosen ELEVATION LOCK by pulling KNOB forward.
2. Turn ELEVATION handwheel clockwise until blade is
as high up as it will go.
IMPORTANT: BLADE must be SQUARE (90 ° ) to
TABLE, in order to ALIGN rip fence.
3." Check for BLADE SQUARENESS... if blade is not
squareto table, adjust it at this time.
NOTE: The combination square must be "true" -- see
start of "Unpacking and Checking Contents" section on
page 6 for checking method.
Refer to "BLADE TILT, OR SQUARENESS OF BLADE
TO TAB LE" adjustments on page 24.

SAWBLADE PARALLELISM
The sawblade must be parallel to the miter gauge slots and
the rip fence in order to prevent heeling. To check for
parallelism:
1. Raise blade all theway up.
2. Mark an "'x" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent) to
the LEFT.
3. Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE , . . adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth.
4. Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if MARKED
tooth again touches blade of square,
5. If tooth touches square the same amount at FRONT
and REAR . . . sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER
GAUGE GROOVE.
If tooth does not touch front and rear, adjust immediately
according to instructions on pg. 23 under heading:
"'HEELING ADJUSTMENT: PARALLELISM OF
SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE,"
MARK "X" ON TOOTH
ATTACHING TABLE EXTENSIONS
1. From among the loose parts find the following
hardware:
8 Hex Head Screws 5/16--18 x 1-1/4 in. long
8 Lockwashers, 5/16 in. External Type (approx. alia. of
hole 5/16 in.)
8 Hex Nuts, 5/16-18 (approx. dia. of hole 5/16 in.)
insert screws through holes in EXTENSION then through
table. Install Iockwashers and screw on the nuts .,. DO
NOT TIGHTEN.
BLOCK OF WOOD
\
Align front edge of extension with front edge of saw table.
Pull Extension UPWARDS above table surface ...
SLIGHTLY TIGHTEN SCREWS using 1/2 in. wrench.
Using small block of hardwood and hammer, tap extension
DOVVNWARDS at front, center & rear, until it is EVEN
with table surface ... TIGHTEN SCRE_/S.
