A blade spacing adjustment gauge is included with the tools
in the Table Saw Hardware Pack and can be placed between
the closest points on the blade and brake cartridge to set the
appropriate spacing (see Fig. 47). The two slots on the blade
spacing adjustment gauge can be used to store the 8 mm hex
key that is used to adjust the brake position. The blade spacing
adjustment gauge also contains magnets so it can be attached
to the side of the Professional Cabinet Saw housing.
Alternatively, you can place a U.S. nickel between the brake
cartridge and the edge of the blade to set the correct spacing.
Preparing Your Saw for Use
After adjusting the brake position and before starting the saw, spin the blade by hand at least one full revolution
to verify that the blade does not hit the brake (see Fig. 48).
