Squaring The Saw Blade To The Fence - Craftsman 315.212050 Operator's Manual

SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 27 - 30.
• Unplug your saw.
• Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
• Loosen the miter lock handle.
• Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned
at O.
• Securely tighten the miter lock handle.
• Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg
of the square against the flat part of the blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the blade, not the blade teeth.
• The edge of the square and the blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 27.
• If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 28 and 29, adjust-
ments are needed.
• Using the blade wrench, loosen the hex screws that
secure the mounting bracket to the miter table.
• Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the blade
is parallel with the square.
• Retighten the screws securely and recheck the blade-
to-fence alignment.
