47. First tighten the rear screw. Then the front of
the insert will be sprung slightly above the
table. Level the insert by placing your hand on
the front of the insert, as in Figure B-79, and
slowly turning the front screw until it draws
the front of the insert flush with the worktable
surface.
ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE GLIDES
48. Place the miter gauge in the worktable's miter
gauge slot. See Figure B-80.
Figure B-78a
c. Position the worktable back to the hori-
zontal "0" and tighten the tilt lock.
d. Adjust the worktable, then again move the
miter gauge and wrench along the face of
the saw blade until the wrench tip consis-
tently contacts the entire blade surface.
e. When the miter gauge slot is aligned, use
the 5/16" Allen wrench to retighten the
two trunnion bolts which are closer to the
headstock. Then loosen the table tilt lock,
tilt the worktable to 45°, and retighten the
table tilt lock. Use the 5/16" Allen wrench
to retighten the other two trunnion bolts.
f. Loosen the table tilt lock and move the
table, then return it to the horizontal "0"
position. Recheck the slot alignment. If it
is off, repeat Steps d and e.
NOTE
Tighten the bolts only after the table tilt lock is secured.
Otherwise the worktable will bow or bind the next time
the table tilt lock is tightened.
INSTALL THE TABLE INSERT IN THE
WORKTABLE
46. Place the table insert in the worktable recess.
Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to start both screws.

Figure B-80
49. Check to see if the miter gauge wobbles side-
to-side. Also, slide it back and forth in the slot
to check if the miter gauge scrapes against the
table. If the miter gauge rocks or scrapes the
table, adjust the glides.
50. If the glides need to be adjusted, do the follow-
ing:
a. Remove the miter gauge from the slot and
turn it over.
b. Use a medium screwdriver to screw the
glides in or out, as illustrated in Figure B-
81, so that the glides hold the miter gauge
1/64" to 1/32" off the worktable and the
miter gauge does not rock in the slots.
Figure B-81
c. Return the miter gauge to the slot and
recheck and re-adjust it, if needed.
