Alignment Instructions

WARNING:
For your safety, before performing any maintenance on the saw turn
off the power switch and unplug the power cord.
Instructions:
Performing a Realignment of a R1048 Reminder:
-
Always unplug unit before servicing.
Adjust the cutting head such that the blade passes
-
through the table, not over.
There are three ways to adjust the 1048's alignment:
Cutting fence.
1.
2.
Bridge.
3.
Cutting head.
Note: Usually adjustment method 1 and 2 are the most
common.

Method 1:
1. Loosen the bolts that secure the cutting fence.
2. Using a steel square, as shown in Fig. 1, align the square's long
arm with the blade. Both the front and the rear end of the blade's
rim should have contact.
3. Adjust the cutting fence such that the fence face sits flush with
the steel square's short arm.
4. Now move the cutting head back and forth, along the bridge, to
check for consistent blade contact with the steel square. Make
sure the short arm does not move during this process. Interference
from the blade may move the steel square away from the cutting
fence.
Method 2:
1. Loosen the bolts that secure the bridge (Fig. 2). DO NOT
REMOVE THE BOLTS AS THE BRIDGE AND CUTTING HEAD
WILL FALL.
2. Repeat steps listed in method 1 to align the fence.
3. Now if the cutting fence does not move enough to align the
cutting head, the bridge may be shifted as shown in the top-left
illustration in the next page.
