If the blade has moved left or right of center:
■ Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has
moved left and counterclockwise if blade has moved
right) while turning the wheel by hand until the blade
moves back and rides in the center of the tire.
■ Check the position of the blade on the lower tire. The
blade should be completely on the tire. If not, adjust
the tracking until the blade is on both tires.
■ Rotate the upper wheel by hand in a clockwise
direction for a few more turns. Make sure the blade
stays in the same location on the tires. Readjust, if
necessary, until blade is tracking properly.
■ Close front cover and relatch.
NOTE: The 1/8 in. blade may not track property in the
center of the wheel. It may be better to track this blade on
the back half of the upper wheel.
SQUARING THE SAW TABLE TO THE BLADE
See Figure 13.
■ Remove the blade guard by loosening the two set
screws with the 4 mm hex key.
■ Turn the lock lever counterclockwise to unlock the
blade guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob
clockwise, raise the blade guide assembly as far as it
will go. Retighten the blade guide knob.
■ Place a small combination square on the saw table
beside the blade.
■ Loosen the table lock handle and rotate the angle ad­
justment knob to tilt the saw table up or down to align
table 90°
to blade (0° position). Retighten the table lock
handle.
■ Using an adjustable wrench, adjust the zero stop set
screw until the set screw just touches the saw housing.
■ Check squareness of the saw table to the blade. Make
readjustments if necessary.
■ Loosen screw on scale indicator with a phillips screw­
driver and align scale indicator to zero.
■ Tighten all screws securely.
■ Replace the blade guard once the saw table has been
squared.
