TO ADJUST THE MITER TABLE BASE
See Figure 26.
Remember: Check all settings before loosening screws
for the following procedures. Once screws have been
loosened, these settings must be reset.
[] Unplug the saw.
[] Set the miter fence at 0 ° then securely tighten the
adjusting clamp knob.
[] Push the sliding miter table to the back and loosen the
right-front screw from beneath the table saw cabinet.
[] Loosen the nylock nut beneath the front-left eccentric
screw.
[] Place one side of a framing square firmly against the
miter fence and the other side against the saw blade.
[] Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the eccentric screw
until the miter fence and the blade are square.
[] Hold the eccentric screw in place with the screwdriver
and tighten the nylock nut securely.

TO CHECK MITER FENCE ALIGNMENT
See Figure 27.
The miter fence must be perpendicular to the blade when
set at zero degrees.
[] Set the miter fence (H) at 0 °. Miter indicator (I) should
be set precisely on 0 ° and secured in place with the
adjusting clamp knob (J).
NOTE: The quick-stop is not necessary for this check-
ing procedure. However, you may want to check and
adjust it to 0 ° at this time. See the To Adjust Quick-
Stop section that follows.
[] Place a framing square (G) firmly against the miter
fence (H), with the other side against the blade (E).
[] Check whether the miter fence and blade are square
with each other. With the framing square against the
miter fence there should be no gap from the front to
the rear of the blade.
[]
[]
If a gap exists, the miter fence may be out of square.
Rotate the blade and recheck. If there is an inconsis-
tent gap between the front and rear of the blade, the
miter table base needs aligning.
