CHECKING SLIDING MITER TABLE
ASSEMBLY
,_, WARNING: For illustration purposes, the blade
guard and anti-kickback pawls have been
removed. Do not operate your saw without the
blade guard unless specifically instructed to do
so for non-through cuts.
TO CHECK MITER BASE PARALLELISM
_, WARNING: Begin by unplugging your saw.
Failure to unplug saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
• Set saw up as if you were preparing to make a cut.
Tighten rail clamps, miter _ocking clamps, ad}usting
clamp, etc.
• Slide miter table (A) to the front of miter base (B)
as far as it will go. Place a reference mark (C) near
the end of the miter table as shown in figure 54.
Note: Front of miter base is on infeed side of saw.
• Place a reference mark on one of the blade teeth
(D) and rotate the blade (E) so that the reference
mark on the blade is at the front of the throat plate
(F).
• Place a framing square (G) against the blade and
align with reference mark on miter table. Measure
the distance between the blade and the edge of
miter table.
Note: Place framing square between carbide teeth
and measure from blade. This step wi_Zinsure
framing square is square against blade from the
front to back of blade.
• Remove framing square and slide miter table to the
rear of miter base as far as it will go.
See Figure 55.
• Rotate the blade so the reference mark on the
blade is at the rear of the throat plate. Measuring
from the same mark on the blade at the rear will
eliminate the effect of blade wobble.
• Place framing square against the blade and align
with the same reference mark on the miter table.
Measure the distance between the blade and the
edge of the miter table at the rear.
• Compare whether the front and rear
measurements are the same. If they are the same,
proceed with checking the miter fence alignment. If
not, this indicates the miter base needs aligning.
Miter base must then be adjusted before checking
miter fence alignment. See "To Adjust The Miter
Base" section that follows.
