and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment
of the motor pulley is required. Loosen the
setscrew and slowly slide the pulley towards
the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts
are back into alignment, tighten the setscrew
securely.

to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.
4. Reattach the table and make sure the blade
does not contact the table insert when raised
or tilted.

or tilted, the blade must be aligned. The easiest
way is to move the table. If moving the table does
not work, adjust the trunnion assembly. If that
does not work, move the arbor bracket.
To adjust the blade by moving the table:
1. Disconnect the table saw from the power
source.
2. Loosen the four table mounting bolts and
adjust the table until the blade does not con-
tact the insert. Tighten all the mounting bolts.
3. Make sure the blade does not contact the
