SQUARING BLADE TO FENCE
See Figures 31A - 31C.
This procedure squares the miter angle of the bladeto
the fence to reduce the riskof bindingand kickback.If
the blade is not square to the fence, the yoke assem-
bly mustbe rotatedslightly. Have aframing square, a
1/2 in. wrench, and a phillipsscrewdriverat hand. The
blade shouldbe lowered to justclear the table.
Release the carriage lock knob.
,_ WARNING: The blade must be angled at 90" to
the fence when the handle isat the frontof the
saw. If not, kickback could resultduringa cross
cut. Kickbackcan cause seriousinjurybythrow-
ing the workpiece toward the operator. In addi-
tion, a faulty miter angle onthe bladecan splinter
or burnthe cutedges ofthe workpiece during
cross cuts or ripcuts.

O"miter position (straight forward).
• Pullthe yokeassembly forward tothe front ofthe

• Placethe shortend of the framing square against
the fence. Rotate the squareto 45" to the table.
Place the long edge acrossthe flat surface ofthe
blade, belowthe center of the blade. (Do notplace
the edge againsta tooth.)
• Check whether the blade isflat againstthe edge for
the entire length or whethera gap isvisible.
• Ifthe blade needs adjustment, remove the rightside
