TO CHECK THE THROAT PLATE
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
The throat plate must be level with the saw
table. If the throat plate is too high or too low,
the workpiece can catch on the uneven edges
resulting in binding or kickback which could
result in serious personal injury.
To align the throat plate with the saw table:
Lower the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel counterclockwise.
Loosen the screw in the throat plate.
Using a 3/32 in. hex key, adjust the four set screws as
shown in figure 16.
Retighten the screw being careful not to overtighten which
can cause the throat plate to bow or bend.
TO REMOVE/REPLACE THE THROAT PLATE

Unlock the blade height lock knob.
Lower the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel counterclockwise.
Loosen the screw in the throat plate.

the front of the saw.
Place throat plate into throat plate opening in table and
push toward rear of saw to engage spring clip until key
slot in throat plate will drop over flat head screw.
Retighten the screw being careful not to overtighten which
