Table Mounting Locations
6. If the blade tip does not touch the end of the
adjustable square similar to the first mea-
surement, then the table will need to be
adjusted.
7. To adjust the table, loosen the four bolts in
the table mounting locations (see Figure 25)
and slightly tap the table. Repeat Steps 1-5
until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the
table mounting bolts when finished.
8. Now check to see if the blade remains paral-
lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.
9. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 1-5. If
the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, con-
tinue on to the “Miter Gauge” instructions.
Otherwise, continue with the next step.
10. If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at
90° but not at 45°, the table will need to be
shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims
are placed under the table over each of the
four table mounting bolts.
Miter Slot to Blade
Your table saw will give the best results if the
miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel
to the blade. If either of these are not exactly par-
allel, your cuts and your finished work will be
lower in quality, but more important, this condition
increases the risk of kickback. Take the time to
adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes
now will be time well spent.
1. Disconnect plug from power source.
2. Use an adjustable square to measure the
distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip
on the blade as shown in Figure 24. Make
sure that the face of the adjustable square is
even along the miter slot.
3. With the end of the adjustable square just
touching the tip, lock the square in place.
Now, mark the carbide tip with a magic mark-
er where you made this measurement.
4. Rotate that tip to the other end of the table
insert.
5. Slide the adjustable square down to the
other end of the table insert, and compare
the distance from the marked blade tip to the
end of the adjustable square.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use
extra care when handling the blade or
working near it. Serious injury is possible.
