Disc Table Angle Adjustment
1. Disconnect the power to the machine to prevent acci-
dental start-ups.
2. Loosen the table locking knobs on either end of the
table.
3. Using a machinist's square against the table and disc,
set the table at exactly 90
o
to the disc (See Figure 15).
4. Tighten the table locking knobs.
5. Check the pointer. If it is not exactly on the zero mark,
loosen the pointer attaching screw, adjust the pointer, and
retighten the screw.
6. Reconnect the power to the machine.

Disc Table Miter Parallelism
Adjustment
1. Disconnect the power to the machine to prevent acci-
dental start-ups.
2. Set the table angle to zero.
3. Place a scale or adjustable machinist's square against
either the left or right edge of the disc face and measure the
distance to the miter slot edge (See Figure 16).
4. Move the measuring device to the opposite edge of the
disc and measure the distance to the miter slot.
5. Adjust the table by loosening the four attachment screws
under the table, then move the table until the distance be-
tween the miter slot and the disc is equal on both sides
(See Figure 17).
6. Tighten the four attachment screws.
7. Reconnect the electrical power to the machine.

Disc Table Gap Adjustment
1. Using a scale, check the gap between the edge of the
table and the face of the disc. It should be very close to 3/32
inch. If it is much more or less than that distance, adjust it
as follows:
2. Disconnect the electrical power to the machine.
3. Using the access hole on the top of the disc guard,
locate and loosen the two set screws that secure the disc
to the shaft.
4. Slide the disc in or out along its shaft until the table-to-
disc gap is 3/32 inch (See Figure 18).
5. Tighten both set screws.
6. Reconnect the electrical power to the machine.
