TO CHECK MITER FENCE ALIGNMENT
The miter fence must be perpendicular to the blade when set
at zero degrees.
1. Set the miter fence (H) at 0° as shown in figure 52. Miter
indicator (I) should be set precisely on 0° 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.
2. Place a framing square (G) firmly against the miter fence
(H), with the other side against the blade (E).
See Figure
52.
3. 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.
4. If a gap exists, the miter fence may be out of square.
5. 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.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO SLIDING
MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY
TO ADJUST THE MITER BASE
REMEMBER: Check all settings before loosening screws
for the following procedures. Once screws have been
loosened, these settings must be reset.
Eight screws are visible on the miter base (B).
1. Four screws (K) are on the holder plates and secure
these plates to the rails. It is not necessary to loosen or
adjust these screws for this adjustment procedure.
2. Another pair of screws (L) is in the base, at the rear.
Loosen these two screws (L) and the rear miter locking
clamps (M).
See Figure 53.
3. The last pair of screws is located on the infeed side of the
base. Loosen the left screw (N) only.
4. 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.
5. Following steps 2 thru 8 in "TO CHECK MITER BASE
PARALLELISM", adjust the miter base so that it is
parallel to the blade.
6. Retighten the left front screw (N).
7. Clamp the rear miter locking clamps (M).
8. Retighten the two rear screws (L).
