8. tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 3–6.
—if the blade is still parallel with the miter
slot, continue onto the
Blade Alignment
procedure.
—if the blade was parallel with the miter slot
at 90° but not at 45°, one end of the table
will need to be shimmed higher with metal
shim stock.
9. loosen the three table mounting bolts.
10. refer to Figures 129–130 for shim place-
ment. if the distance of A is shorter than B,
shim(s) will need to be placed under corners
#1 and #2. if the distance of B is shorter than
A, shim(s) will need to be placed under cor-
ner #3. very thin shim stock works well.

11. tighten one bolt a small amount and then
repeat with the others, tightening each down
the same amount. Continue this process with
all the bolts, tightening them a little each time
until they are all secure.
12. now recheck the blade to the miter slot at 90°
and 45° by repeating
Steps 3-6.
—if the distance of A and B are equal,
continue to
Step 13, then go to Blade
Alignment.
—if the distances are still off, repeat
Steps
9–11.
13. once the miter slot is adjusted to the blade,
recheck all measurements and be sure the
table mounting bolts are secure. Also, if you
remove the table in the future, note the shim
placements and reassemble them exactly
how they came apart.
14. reconnect the power, then recalibrate the
digital readout (refer to procedure on
page
74) before operating the saw.

page 66). Adjust as necessary until the blade
