Sliding Panel Parallel Adjustment
Disconnect the saw from the power source!
Now is the point in the assembly process to make the
sliding panel parallel with the main saw blade and
secure the sliding panel to the saw base.
Besides the tools included with the saw, this procedure
requires you to have a precision ruler, a felt tip pen, and
the assistance of another person.
To adjust the sliding panel parallel with the main
blade:
1. Set the blade to 0˚ on the control panel (90˚ with the
cast iron table).
2. Raise the main blade up as far as it will go.
3. Mark the center of the blade with a felt tip pen. This
will allow you to take your measurements from the
exact same place on the blade.
4. Move the sliding panel all the way to one end, and
using a precision ruler, measure the gap between
the edge of the panel and your mark on the blade as
shown in Fig 29.
5. Move the other end of the sliding panel in front of
the blade and measure the gap.
If the gap is the same on both sides, then the sliding
panel is already parallel with the main blade.
If the gap on one side is different than the other, then
continue with step6.
6. Move the end of the sliding panel that needs to be
adjusted in front of the blade.
7. Loosen the two hex head screws (C) and light tap
the sliding carrier support to adjust the gap.
8. Repeat steps 7 until the gap between your mark on
the blade and the edge of the sliding panel is even at
both ends.
9. Tighten the four hex head screws (C) and secure
supports in place
10. Now tighten the two star-type screws that secure
the sliding panel to the base.
