Miter Slot Parallel to
Blade
To cut accurately when using the miter gauge, the miter
slot MUST be parallel to the blade.
To check and adjust the miter slot parallel to the blade,
do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Raise the blade to its full height and set the blade
90˚ to the table.
3. Use an adjustable square to measure the distance
from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade as
shown in Figure 66. Make sure that the face of the
adjustable square is even along the miter slot.
4. With the end of the adjustable square just touching
the tip, lock the square in place. Now, mark the car-
bide tip with a magic marker where you made this
measurement.
5. Rotate that tip to the other end of the table insert.
6. Slide the adjustable square down to the other end
of the table insert, and compare the distance from
the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable
square.
7. If the blade tip does not touch the end of the adjust-
able square similar to the first measurement, then
the table will need to be adjusted.
8. To adjust the table, loosen the four bolts at the
table mounting locations shown in Figure 67.
