HEELIMG ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM
OF
SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE
GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight
line PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE . . . therefore
both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE
must be PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawbtade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge
groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut.
(This is known as “HEELING”).
To check for parallelism:
WARNING - TO AVOID INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL START, TURN SWITCH “OFF” AND
REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET.
1. Raise blade all the way up by turning elevation
handwheel clockwise.
2. Mark an “x" on one of the teeth which is SET
(bent) to the LEFT.
3. Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE ... adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth.
5. If tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR ...
sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER GAUGE
GROOVE.
6. If tooth does not touch the same amount... the
mechanism underneath must be adjusted to
make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.
A. Rear support bearing must be moved
TOWARD the combination square if there is a
space between marked tooth and end of
square in step 4.
B. Rear support bearing must be moved AWAY
from the square if marked tooth pushes square
out of position in the groove.
7. Make sure tilt clamp screw is tightened.
8. Loosen both screws that hold the rear support
bearing and both screws that hold the front
support bearing.
.
NOTE: Rear screws can be reached through back
of saw. Use a 9/16-in. wrench. To reach front
support bearing screws insert open end wrench
through opening in front of base by the tilt clamp
screw.
