head of the square in the miter gauge groove and
adjust the ruler blade of the square so that the end
of the blade just touches the side of thetooth you
marked on the sawblade. Remember to keep the
head of the square flush against the miter gauge
groove.

is now visible at the rear of the saw.
6. Move the combination square to the rear of the
saw and the end of the square blade should just
touch the marked tooth the same as it did at the
front of the sawblade.

the miter gauge groove you must adjust the
position of the sawblade by loosening the four
adjustment locking screws about 1/2 turn.
8. Loosen two pan head screws, 10-32, on the rear
skirt of the table about 1/2 turn.

sawblade with a piece of cardboard and shifting
the blade to the right or left as required.
10. After shifting the sawblade mechanism slightly,
recheck the position of the marked tooth of the
sawblade at both front and rear.
11. The tooth marked on the sawblade should be
parallel to the miter gauge groove after
adjustment is made.
