17. Turn the blade with your hand several
times and check to see if the square
is flush
with the blade.

is flush with the blade after
each rotation,
go to the next section,
or
If there
is a gap between
the square
and the
blade after any rotation,
go back to step 6 and
repeat.
Squaring
Blade to Fence
These
steps are done so that your blade will
be perpendicular
to the fence. This will help
reduce
the risk of kickback
when ripping,
and
splintering
of the workpiece
and burning
of
the kerf when ripping
and crosscutting.

Make sure the square
is
against the surface
of the blade and not the
set of a tooth.
