Adjusting Blade Parallel To The
Miter Gauge Slots
The blade was adjusted parallel to the miter
gauge slots at the factory. In order to insure
accurate cuts and help prevent kickback, this
adjustment should be rechecked. If adjustment
is necessary, follow the steps below.
1. Turn the elevation wheel and raise the
blade as high as it will go.
2. Select a point on the body of the saw blade
that is set to the left when viewing the
blade from the front of saw and mark with a
pencil (Fig. 26).
3. Place the base of a combination square
against the edge of the miter-gauge slot, and extend the sliding rule of the square so that
it just touches the marked point on the body of the saw blade at the rear of the table.
4. Rotate the blade and check the same marked point of the saw blade at the front of the
table (Fig. 26).
5. If the front and back measurements, shown in Figure 26 are not identical, identify the side
with the gap. Use the bolt and the wing nut located under the table to adjust the blade
position: loosen the wing nut and carefully screw in/out the bolt until the blade is parallel to
the miter slot, then securely tighten the wing nut (Fig 27).

Aligning Rip Fence
The fence is properly aligned to the blade in all three positions at the factory and should not
require adjustment. This section is intended only for maintenance purposes or when the fence
becomes misaligned due to impact. The rip fence must be parallel with the saw blade in order
to prevent KICKBACK when ripping.
Your table saw is equipped with a multiple-position rack and pinion-rip-fence. Once the
adjustments below have been made, the rip fence will self-align when the fence is locked into
one of the three positions. All three rip fence positions need to be aligned parallel to the blade.
When moving the ripfence, make sure to unlock and lock the fence with the rail-lock lever and
use the rail knob to adjust the fence position.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the miter-gauge slots (see "Adjusting Blade Parallel
To The Miter Gauge Slots") and be perpendicular to table before proceeding with rip fence
alignment.
