OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE BLADE PARALLEL TO THE
MITER GAUGE GROOVE (REMOVING HEEL)
See Figures 45 - 47.
WARNING:
The blade must be made parallel to the miter
gauge groove so the wood does not bind
resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
Do not loosen any screws for this adjustment until you
have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure
adjustments are necessary. Once the screws are loosened,
these items must be reset.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting
handwheel.
 Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the
blade. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the inside
face of the blade tooth to the left edge of the right miter
gauge groove.
NOTE: For greater accuracy, place the marked blade
tooth on top of the ruler.
 Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
 Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance
from the inside face of the blade tooth to the left edge
of the right miter gauge groove. If the distances are the
same, the blade and the miter gauge groove are parallel.
 Replace blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls.
If the distances are different:
 Remove the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting
handwheel.
 Loosen the outer screws 1/2 turn; this allows the
mechanism beneath the table to be shifted sideways.
NOTE: The screws are located on under the top of the
saw table.
 Turn the alignment screw left or right until the blade is
square.
 Tighten the outer screws. Check again for squareness
and continue to adjust if needed.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align
the rip fence to the blade following any blade
adjustments. Always make sure the rip fence
is parallel to the blade before beginning any
operation.
