ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN
M O VABLE TABLE AND BASE

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.

If it ever becomes necessary to adjust the sliding fit
between the movable table and the base, turn nut (A)
Fig. 18, clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease the sliding fit. This adjustment should not be
too tight that it restricts the rotating movement of the
table or too loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.
