BLADE ALIGNMENT IS FACTORY SET
AND SHOULD NOT NEED
ADJUSTMENT. ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT IN
THE FIELD IS A DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING
PROCEDURE. ALL SAW BLADES HAVE SOME RUN-
OUT. THEREFORE, RE-ADJUSTING BLADE
ALIGNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED IF IT
BECOMES NECESSARY. (SEE CHECKING BLADE
ALIGNMENT.)
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
1. Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert.
With a 1/2″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and
rear trunnion mounting bolts. NOTE: Two trunnion
mounting bolts (E) Fig. 37 are shown as looking up
inside side of saw.
2. Move the trunnion assembly in the desired direction.
Tap gently with rubber mallet if necessary.
3. To check blade alignment, follow section
“CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT” procedure until
proper alignment is achieved. Tighten 4 trunnion
bolts (E) Fig. 37.

confirm alignment. If alignment is off, loosen the 4
trunnion bolts (E) and repeat the above steps until
