ASSEMBLY
FRAMING
SQUARE
TO CHECK AND ALIGN THE BLADE GUARD
ASSEMBLY
See Figure 20.
If the blade guard assembly is out of alignment with the saw
blade, adjust the alignment of the blade guard assembly. The
spreader must be aligned with the saw blade.
NOTE: The spreader is thinner than the width of the cut (kerf)
by approximately six thickness of paper.
Unplug the saw.
Lift the blade guard. Raise the saw blade by turning the
height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.
Lift the anti-kickback pawls (insert a large hex key in the
notches of the pawls to hold the pawls out of the way).
Place a framing square or straight edge against both the
saw blade and the spreader.
The saw blade and spreader are aligned when the fram-
ing square contacts both the blade and spreader evenly
with no gaps.
If the distances are different, square and align the blade
guard assembly with the following steps:
Unplug the saw.
Lift the blade guard. Raise the saw blade by turning the
height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.
From the back of the saw, loosen the hex head bolts
and reposition the blade guard assembly left or right as
needed to align the spreader with the saw blade.
Once properly aligned, securely retighten the bolts.
Recheck the marked blade tooth to insure the adjustment
has not moved.
