Blade Alignment - Jet JTAS-10XL Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Blade Alignment

•
Tool: 8mm Hex Wrench, combination square,
marker
Blade alignment with the table is adjusted at the
factory. After a period of use, or, after moving
the saw to another location, the blade may no
longer be aligned with the table. To check and
align the blade: see Figure 13
1. Disconnect the saw from the power
source.
1. Raise the blade guard up and out of the way
of the blade.
2. Unlock fence and move away from the
blade so as to expose the right T-slot.
3. Choose a tooth on the far side of the blade
and directly over the insert. Mark the tooth
with a marker. Measure the distance from
the side of the blade to the right T-slot edge
using a combination square. Make sure to
measure between the teeth not on the tooth,
Figure 13.
4. Rotate the blade toward the front so that the
marked tooth is just above the insert.
Measure the distance from the side of the
blade to the right T-slot edge.
measurements should be the same.
5. If they are not the same, loosen four hex
socket cap screws (A, Fig. 14) that hold the
table to the base. Two are shown in Figure
14.
6. Make the needed adjustments and tighten
the four hex socket cap screws firmly.
7. Check the alignment once again after
tightening hardware.
