SETUP
Adjusting Blade Clearance
In this procedure you will adjust the side support to be
parallel with the saw blade and
1
2" away from it. Then
you will set the safety stop set screw (see Figure 14) so
that the side support cannot come into contact with the
blade when adjusting for different cuts.
To adjust blade clearance, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT TABLE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Make sure saw blade is perpendicular to table and
parallel with miter slot.
3. Make sure tenoning jig side support is perpendicular
to table (refer to Adjusting Side Support on Page 14
for instructions).
4. Loosen jam nut on safety stop set screw, then back
the set screw out so that it will not interfere with
adjustments (see Figure 14).
5. Fully raise saw blade.
You must ensure side support safety
stop is adjusted so that support cannot
contact blade when jig is mounted
in left-hand table miter slot. Jig
side support must stay at least
1
2"
away from blade at all times during
operation. If side support and blade
make contact during operation, serious
personal injury and damage to machine
could result.
