your table saw will give the best results if the
miter slot is parallel with the blade. if these com-
ponents are not exactly parallel with each other,
your cuts and your finished work will be lower in
quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback
will be increased.
To adjust the blade parallel to the miter slot:
1. disConneCt saW From poWer!
2. tilt the blade to 90°.
3. measure from the miter slot to a carbide tip
on the blade, as shown in Figure 119.
4. mark the carbide tip with a marker where you
made this measurement.
The saw blade is dangerously sharp. use
extra care or wear gloves when handling
the blade or working near it.

to carbide tip of blade.

5. rotate the marked blade tip to the other end
of the table insert.
6. Compare the distance from the marked blade
tip to the miter slot, as shown in Figure 120.
Figure 121. table mounting bolt holes (table top
removed for clarity).
— if the distance between the blade tip and
the miter slot is not the same on both sides
of the table insert, the table will need to be
adjusted. proceed to
Step 7.
—if the blade tip measurement is the same
on both sides, go to Step 8.
7. to adjust the table, loosen the three bolts
in the table mounting locations (see Figure
121) and lightly tap the table in the direc-
tion needed to square the table to the blade.
repeat Steps 2-6 until the blade and miter
slot are parallel. do not forget to tighten the
table mounting bolts when finished.
