and the blade.

Blade
To adjust the sliding table parallel with the
main blade:
1. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table),
and raise the main blade as high as it will
go.
2. Finger tighten the nut securing the center of
the sliding table.
3. Make a mark near the edge of the blade with
a felt tip pen. This will allow you to take your
measurements from the exact same place on
the blade.
4. Using an adjustable square or a dial indica-
tor, measure the distance (A) between the
miter slot and the front of the blade as shown
in
Figure 41.
Note: Using a dial indicator will provide the
most accurate results.

Parallelism
5. Rotate the blade 180˚ and slide the table with
the measuring device to position B.
6. Measure the difference between the two
positions (use the feeler gauge if using the
adjustable square). Make note of the differ-
ence between the two measurements on a
piece of paper.
— If the difference was less than 0.004" then
the blade parallelism is correct.
— If the difference was greater than 0.004",
then the sliding table needs to be adjusted.
Continue with the next step.
7. Push the end of the table that is closer to the
blade out half the distance noted in Step 6.
8. Repeat Steps 4-7 until the gap between the
blade and the sliding table is equal.
9. Tighten the table mounting nuts to secure the
sliding table and replace the access plates.
