SETUP
Adjusting Guide Bar
In this procedure you will adjust the guide bar so that it
slides back and forth in the table saw miter slot without
side-to-side play or tilt that could cause the workpiece to
bind with the blade and create kickback, or produce poor
cutting results.
To adjust guide bar, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT TABLE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Insert tenoning jig guide bar into table saw miter
slot, then slide it back and forth.
— If guide bar slides freely in miter slot with no
side-to-side play or tilt, then no adjustment is
necessary. Continue with Adjusting Side Support
procedure on Page 14.
— If side-to-side play or tilt exists, continue with
Step 3.
3. Remove tenoning jig from table saw and turn it
upside down, as shown in Figure 11.
4. Evenly adjust set screws shown in Figure 11 the
same amount so that they protrude from guide bar
enough to take up side-to-side play described in
Step 2.
5. Make sure (2) pre-installed
1
⁄4-20 x
3
⁄8" flat head cap
screws that secure T-slot washers (see Figure 11)
are tight.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 until you are satisfied with
movement of guide bar in saw miter slot.
DO NOT remove the T-slot washers
from the ends of the tenoning jig guide
bar. Removal of these washers could
allow the jig to come loose from the
table during a cutting operation, which
could cause serious personal injury or
property damage.
