The saw table was aligned at the factory so that the miter gauge slots are parallel to the saw blade. However, check the
alignment before initial operation.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BLADE ALIGNMENT
Blade alignment is factory-set and should not need adjustment. Aligning the blade in the field is a
difficult and time-consuming procedure.
For assistance with your machine, call the DELTA Machinery help line at 1-800-
223-7278 (In Canada call 1-800-463-3582).
1. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 36 on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gauge slot. Adjust the square
so that the ruler touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position (Fig. 36). Lock the square in this
position.
2. Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth used in STEP 1 is in the rear position (Fig. 37)
3. To adjust, loosen the two hex head bolts (B) Fig. 15 that hold the rear trunnion to the saw table.
4. Use a rubber mallet (or a regular hammer and a block of wood) to tap the trunnion until the saw blade is in the center of
the table insert slot, and parallel to the miter gauge slot.
5. Tighten the two hex head bolts that were loosened in STEP 3.
6. Tilt the blade to 45°. Turn the saw blade by hand to ensure that it does not contact the table insert. Check this distance. Both
the front and rear measure ments should be identical.
HOW TO REMOVE "PLAY" IN THE BLADE-ADJUSTING MECHANISMS
1. Adjust the elevation mechanism - Loosen the locknut
(A) Fig. 38 and turn the eccentric sleeve (B) until all play
is removed. Tighten the locknut.
2. Adjust the tilting mechanism - Loosen the locknut
(C) Fig. 38 and turn the eccentric (D) until all play is
removed. Tighten the locknut.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
