The sliding table features an adjustment bar with bolts
that control how easily the sliding table moves across the
base (see
=`^li\('(). These adjustment bolts are factory
set. They can only be accessed by removing the end covers
from both ends of the sliding table base and sliding the
plastic plate out of the way.
If the adjustment bolts do require adjustments, turning
them counterclockwise increases pressure against the steel
rails. This reduces table movement slop, which increases
accuracy, but makes it harder to slide the table.
Turning the adjustment bolts clockwise decreases the
pressure against the steel rails. This increases table move-
ment slop, which reduces accuracy, but makes it easier to
slide the table.
Adjusting this part of the sliding table correctly is a matter
of trial-and-error by making adjustments, moving the slid-
ing table, then making additional adjustments. Ultimately,
the table must move easily without any slop.
-% Measure the difference between the two positions
(use the feeler gauge if using the adjustable square).
Make note of the difference between the two mea-
surements.
— If the gap is the same on both sides or the differ-
ence is 0.004" or less, no adjustments to the table
parallelism need to be made.
— If the difference is greater than 0.004", then
the sliding table parallelism must be adjusted.

.% Loosen the sliding table mounting nuts (see =`^li\
('') at both mounting locations.
/% At the side of the table that needs to move, loosen
the hex nut on the parallel adjustment screw.
0% Slowly rotate the parallel adjustment screw (=`^li\
('') as necessary to move the table. If you move
the adjustment screw away from the table, then
push the table against the screw before proceeding.
('% Tighten the hex nut on the parallel adjustment
screw to secure it in place, and tighten the table
mounting nuts.
((% Repeat Jk\gj+Æ- to ensure the table didn't move.
