To align the table miter slot parallel to the
blade:
1. Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Tensioning Blade subsec-
tion earlier in this manual.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Make sure the table is perpendicular to the
side of the blade and is locked in place.
4. Place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. The straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade (see
Figure 39).
Note: Make sure the straightedge does not
go across a tooth while performing this step.
