Square The Blade To The Fence - Delta HOMECRAFT H26-260L Instruction Manual

SQUARE ThE BLAdE TO ThE FENCE

The fence (A) is held in position on the table by two
socket head screws (B) as shown in Figure 10. To
ensure accurate cuts, the fence must be perpendicular
to the face of the saw blade.
To check that the blade and fence are in square, refer
to Figure 11 and do the following:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Lower the saw arm all the way down to the
transport position and engage the lock pin to hold
it in place.
3. Loosen the miter lock handle (A), depress the miter
lock plate (B) and position the table so that the
scale indicator (C) reads 0°.
4. Tighten the miter lock handle so that the table will
not move.
5. Place a framing square on the table with one edge
of the square flush against the face of the saw
blade, as shown in Figure 11.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
6. Slide the square against the fence.
7. If the fence and table are in square both will be
flush against the two edges of the framing square. If
not, adjustments are needed. To adjust the position
of the fence:
8. Loosen the socket head screws shown in Figure 10.
9. Position the fence so that the square is flush
against the fence as well as the face of the blade.
10. Retighten the screws securely and recheck the
blade-to-fence alignment.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel
scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring
adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to
loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
The miter indicator adjustment is located under the
throat plate, and the bevel indicator adjustment screw
is located to the right of the bevel indicator.
