table lock levers.

Lock Levers

If the sliding table does not travel

exactly parallel to the saw blade, the

workpiece could bind and kickback

toward the operator, causing serious

personal injury. You MUST make sure

that the sliding table travels parallel

with the saw blade before beginning

operation to avoid kickback injuries.

13. Mark the right blade edge that is even with the

table, then move the sliding table all the way

toward the table saw front.

14. Use the adjustable square and feeler gauges to

measure the distance between the sliding table

miter gauge slot and the main saw blade at the mark

you made in

Step 13. This is distance "A" shown in

Figure 11.

15. Move the sliding table all the way toward the rear

of the table saw, rotate the saw blade so the mark

you made in

Step 13 is at location "B", then take the

measurement of "B".

— If the difference is equal to or less than 0.004"

between the "A" and "B" measurements, the sliding

table parallelism is acceptable. Continue with

Step 16.

— If the difference between the "A" and "B"

measurements is greater than 0.004", place

masking tape between the sliding table and saw

table on one end or the other to make the sliding

table parallel with the saw blade.

Repeat

Steps 13–15 until the difference between

the "A" and "B" measurements is equal to or less

than 0.004".

16. Insert the T-nuts of the extension table into the

T-slot on the outside edge of the sliding table, then

tighten the lock levers to secure the extension table

to the sliding table, as shown in

Figure 12.

Note: The extension table provides additional

workpiece support and should be positioned as

needed during operation.

Tip: Instead of rotating the lock levers to secure the

extension table, you can pull outward on the levers

to disengage them, then use a 4mm hex wrench to

tighten the cap screws in the center of the levers.
