1. CENTERING THE TABLE
A. Loosen the four Hex bolts mounting the table to the upper table
trunnion. (See FIG. 10)
B. Move the table sideways as required, until the saw blade runs
through the center of the table insert.
C. If the adjustment of “B” is not enough to center the table, loosen
the four flange nuts holding the lower table trunnion and move the
table sideways to place the table in the center.
D. Re-tighten Hex bolts for trunnion; recheck the saw blade position.
2. SETTING TABLE SQUARE TO SAW BLADE ON
RIGHT AND LEFT POSITION
Loosen the wing nut on the lower table trunnion and place a suitably
sized square against the saw blade on right and left position. If the
table requires adjustment, proceed as follows:
A. Using a wrench, release the Hex nut under the table.
(See FIG. 11)
B. Place the wrench on the Hex bolt and adjust until the table is
square to the saw blade. (See FIG. 11)
C. Tighten the Hex nut and check the saw blade and the table for
square.
D. Lock the table into position and check that the indicator reads
zero degrees on the side of lower table trunnion. Loosen the screw
securing the indicator and reset if necessary to give zero degree
reading. (See FIG. 12)
