Adjusting Crosscut Rulers
The panel saw comes with one rip (vertical) ruler
and two crosscut (horizontal) rulers. The rip ruler
is preset at the factory. The crosscut rulers
should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before operating the saw. Also, they may have
to be adjusted after every blade change. With
the blade installed, do the following:
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Loosen carriage locking knob and lower
carriage down to the rulers.
3. Using a square that measures at least 14"
on one side, line up one edge of the square
with the tips of the saw blade, and the other
edge with the crosscut ruler. See Figure 16.
4. If these are out of square, loosen the three
bolts that hold the angle bracket to which
the scale is attached. Slide the angle
bracket so that its measure matches the
measure on the square.
5. Repeat the above steps for the crosscut
ruler on the other side.
6. Make a test cut to verify that the ruler is
lined up correctly.
