9. Slightly rotate the table in the appropriate direction.
Recheck the measurements you did in Steps 3 & 6.
10. When you have adjusted the table so both measure-
ments are the same, tilt the blade to 45˚ and mea-
sure the distance from the miter slot to the blade as
done in Steps 2–5.
— If these measurements are the same, tighten the
table mounting bolts, then recheck to make sure
the table did not move during tightening. No fur-
ther adjustments are necessary.
— If either of these measurements are different from
the other, then the table needs to be shimmed
with metal shim stock at the table mounting loca-
tions. Proceed to the next step.
11. First determine which measurement is longer. If
measurement “A” ( Figure 68) is shorter, then cor-
ners #1 and #2 need to be shimmed.
12. If measurement “B” (Figure 69) is shorter, then cor-
ners #3 and #4 need to be shimmed.
13. Place equal sized pieces of metal shim stock under
each of the corners that need to be shimmed.
Repeat this until the distance from the miter slot to
the blade is equal at both the front and back.
14. Set the blade to 90˚ and make sure the miter slot is
still parallel to the blade.
15. Tighten the table mounting bolts and recheck mea-
surements. Adjust if necessary.

To shim an extension wing, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the extension wing from the table.
3. If the extension wing tilts up, place a few layers of
tape above the wing mounting bolt holes as shown
in Figure 70. If the extension wing tilts down, place
the tape below the bolt holes.
4. Reinstall the extension wing on the table, trim any
projecting tape, and check to see if the table is flat.
Repeat as necessary until the extension wing creates
one flat surface with the main table.
