If the saw blade is not square to the miter gauge groove,
do the following:
n Unplug the saw and remove the switch key.
n Tighten the bevel lock lever located at the front of the
saw.
n Using a 9/16 in. wrench, loosen the three mounting
screws that hold the front trunnion. Access the front
center trunnion bolt through the slot for the bevel lock
lever in the front of the saw.
n Remove the blade guard assembly.
n From the back of the saw, loosen the three mounting
screws that hold the rear trunnion.
n Viewed from the rear of the saw, the saw blade should
be a minimum of 1/8 in. from the right side of the throat
plate slot. Adjust by moving the front trunnion.Secure by
tightening the front trunnion center bolt.
n Viewed from the rear of the saw, determine which
direction the rear of the saw blade needs to move to
make it parallel to the miter gauge groove. To move the
rear of the saw blade to the right, turn the lever above
the rear trunnion to the left. To move the rear of the saw
blade to the left, turn the lever above the rear trunnion to
the right.
n Once the lever has moved the saw blade to the desired
location (parallel to the miter gauge groove), securely
tighten the mounting screws on both the front and rear
trunnions.
n Recheck the marked blade tooth using the combination
square to insure the adjustment has not moved.
