9. Lay the edge of the rear table across the
center of the front table, and check to see if
there is a gap between the two. (Figure 72)

back to step I 1 and repeat, or
If there is a gap less than 1/32 inch, or no gap
at all, go to the next section.
Squaring Crosscut Travel
The blade must travel perpendicular to the
fence along the radial arm in order for cross-
cuts to be accurate. If the radial ann is not
perpendicular to the fence, there will be a
slight miter angle in all crosscuts.
WARNING: Plugging in the saw dur-
ing alignment can result in your fingers,
hands, or arm being cut off from blade
contact. Do not plug in the saw at any
time during alignment. The saw should
only be plugged in when it is to be used.
