8-3. Adjustment
The tool is accurately adjusted before shipping from the factory.
Check the following settings and readjust them if necessary in order to obtain the best results in operation.
WARNING: To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the switch is turned OFF and
the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before adjustment of this tool.
8-3-1. Adjustment of Saw Blade parallel to Miter Gauge Groove
This is probably the most difficult of the adjustments. Before shipment from the factory this adjustment was made
but it should be rechecked and readjusted if necessary.
CAUTION: The adjustment must be correct or kickback could result and accurate cuts could not be
made.
(1) Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle by turning it
counterclockwise. Move the saw blade tilting mechanism to
the left and set the saw blade to 0˚ with the stopper.
(2) Turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to the
maximum cutting height (see Fig. 13-a).
(3) Select a tooth on the saw blade which is bent to the right.
(4) Mark that tooth with a pencil or permanent marker.
(5) Set the miter gauge to 90˚ and tighten the clamp handle (B)
to lock it in that position. Place the miter gauge in the left
hand miter gauge groove in the table top (see Fig. 13-b).
(6) Rotate the saw blade to bring the marked tooth to the front
and about 12.7 mm (1/2") above the table top.
(7) Place a bar or square flat against the miter gauge.
(8) Move the bar or square toward the saw blade until it just
touches the tip of the marked saw blade tooth.
