8. To keepttie miter gage grooves in line, use a flat
blade screwdriver against the head of one of the
low head capscrews in the miter gage groove to
force the table alignment key firmly forward into
the notch in the front table.
9. While holding the alignment key into the notch,
tighten the other capscrew. Remove the screw­
driver and tighten the remaining screw. Check
that the miter gage grooves line up.
10. Check the operation of springs and tabs by
removing the front table and reinstalling. Remove
the table by lifting up on two spring tabs under
front edge of the table until springs are free, then
pulling forward.
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE TABLE
To assure repeatability and accuracy, it is important
to square the blade to the table and adjust the 0°
position stop. This will guarantee that the blade will
return to the square position after the head has been
moved for a bevel cut.
1. Locate the 1/4-20 x 1/2 oval point setscrew and
use an 1/8-inch hex "L” wrench to install it in the
hole located at the left front of the rear table. The
setscrew has a lock patch that will make it hard to
turn.
2. Slide the upper blade guard to its top most
position and tighten knob.
3. Release bevel lock by pulling out bevel lock knob
under left front edge of table.
4. Place a combination square on the table against
the blade. Adjust the position of the blade to the
table by turning the handwheel. When the blade
is flush against the combination square lock the
bevel lock knob. Use a 1/8-inch hex “L” wrench
to set the 0° stop. Turn screw until it makes
contact with the frame.
5. Unlock bevel lock, bevel the blade, then return to
0“ position. Push in bevel lock knob and recheck
blade to make sure it is square to the table.
NOTE: The combination square must be “true”
— see the beginning of the unpacking and
checking contents section tor checking the
combination square procedure.
