CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT
The blade is set parallel at the factory and should
not need any adjustments. You can check this by
using a dial indicator (not included) or a combina-
tion square (not included). It is recommended to
check the alignment before initial operation as
follows:
THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE
PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN
THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.
1. Raise the saw blade (A-Fig. 26) to its highest
position using the handwheel on the front of
the saw. (See RAISING AND LOWERING
THE BLADE on page sixteen)
2. Place a combination square (B-Fig. 26) on the
saw table with one edge of the square against
the left miter slot (C-Fig. 26).
3. Adjust the square so the rule just touches the
front position of the saw blade. Make sure the
rule is not touching any of the carbide tips of
the saw blade.
4. Keep the rule in this position.
5. Carefully rotate the saw blade back so that
you take the measurement from the same spot
on the saw blade.
6. Take a reading at the rear of the blade (A-Fig.
27) with the combination square. If there is a
difference of more than. 01" between the rule
and the blade, then an adjustment will have to
be made to the table. See ADJUSTING
BLADE ALIGNMENT on page nineteen.
