Page 21: Checking Heeling Adjustment Or Parallelism Of Sawblade To Miter Gauge Groove
Checking Heeling Adjustment or Parallelism of Sawblade to Miter Gauge Groove While cutting, the material must move in a straight line parallel to the sawblade. Therefore, both the miter gauge groove and the rip fence must be parallel to the sawblade. - Page 22 Alignment (continued) NOTE: Always review the section "Check- ing Blade Parallel to the Miter Gauge Groove" before proceeding with this sec- tion. 7. Loosen 1/2 turn the four alignment screws in the top of table next to the sawblade. This will allow the mecha- nism below the table to be shifted sideways.
