TO ADJUST FRONT AND BACK RAILS
See Figures 22 - 24.
WARNING:
The front and back rails must be aligned with the
saw blade. Misalignment could cause binding
or kickback. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
To Check Saw Blade Alignment before Adjusting
Rails:
n Raise the saw blade by turning the height adjusting
handwheel clockwise.
n With a pencil, mark an "X" on one tooth of the saw
blade.
n Place the head of a combination square in the left miter
gauge groove on the saw table.
n Rotate the blade so that the tooth marked with the "X" is
at the front. Adjust the blade of the combination square
so that it just touches the tip of the marked tooth. Lock
the combination square at the current setting.
n Holding the head of the combination square firmly against
the edge of the miter gauge groove, rotate the blade to
the back of the saw. If the marked tooth again touches
the blade of the square, the saw blade is parallel to the
miter slot.
n If the blade of the combination square does not touch
the marked tooth at the front and rear equally, the table
saw must be adjusted to make the blade parallel to the
miter gauge groove. Refer to "To Square the Saw Blade
to the Miter Gauge Groove" on page 42.
To Align Front and Back Rails the Length of the
Saw Table:
It may be necessary to use shims (included) to maintain
proper alignment of the front and back rails to the saw
table. If a gap appears between the saw table and rails, it is
necessary to fill the gap using shims. To check alignment:
n Loosen the four nuts holding the rear rail in place.
n Push the rear rail against the saw table from the center
of the saw table. Note if there is any gap between the
saw table and the inside face of the rail. If no gap exists,
finger tighten nuts. If gap appears, it will be necessary
to remove the rail and place shims on the square head
bolts between the saw table and rail.
n Repeat steps for the front rail.
To Align Front and Back Rails to the Rip Fence:
See Figure 24.
The front and back rails must be of the proper height for
the rip fence to move freely. Check and adjust the height
alignment of the rails with the following steps:
