SLIDING MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY

Checks and Adjustments

TO CHECK MITER FENCE ALIGNMENT

The miter fence must be perpendicular to the blade
when set at zero degrees.

■

Set the miter fence (H) at 0° as shown in figure 56.

Miter indicator (I) should be set precisely on O'’ and

secured in place with adjusting clamp (J).

Note:

The quick-stop is not necessary for this

checking procedure. However, you may want to

check and adjust it to 0° at this time. See

"Quick

Stop"

section that follows.

■

Place a framing square (G) firmly against the miter

fence (H), with the other side against the blade (E).

See Figure 56.

■ Check whether the miter fence and blade are

square with each other. With the framing square

against the miter fence there should be no gap

from the front to the rear of the blade.

■ If a gap exists, the miter fence may be out of

square.

■ Rotate the blade and recheck. If there is a

consistent gap between the front and rear of the

blade, the miter table needs aligning. Follow the

adjustment procedures that follow.

The last pair of screws is located on the infeed side

of the base. Loosen the left screw

(N) only.

■ The right screw (O) will be used as a pivot point.

Note:

The front two miter locking clamps (P) and

rail clamps should remain locked.
