Fence Alignment Adjustment (Fig. F, L)
(Blade Parallel to Fence)
If you experience fence alignment problems and want to correct an out of parallel alignment
between the fence and the blade, be sure to check the alignment of the blade to the miter slot
first. After confirming that those elements are aligned, proceed with alignment of the blade to
the fence using the following procedure:
Fig. L
Position 1
Position 1 Fence Alignment
1. Install the fence in position 1 (Refer to Figure F) and unlock the rail lock lever
locator pins 31 that support the fence on the front and rear rails.
2. Loosen the rear locator pin screw and adjust the alignment of the fence in the groove until
the fence face is parallel to the blade. Make sure you measure from the fence face to the front
and back of the blade to ensure alignment.
3. Tighten the locator pin screw.
4. Check rip scale pointer adjustment.
nOTE: Follow the Position 1 Fence Alignment instructions for aligning the fence on the left of
the blade.
Position 2 Fence Alignment
1. To align position 2 fence locator pins, ensure position 1 pins have been aligned, refer to
Position 1 Fence Alignment.
2. Loosen the position 2 locator pins, then using holes in the blade wrench
positioning, align the pins (Fig. L).
3. Tighten the locator pins (front and rear).
Aligning Riving Knife to Blade (Fig. O)

4. Lay a straight edge on the table against two blade tips. The riving knife should not touch the
straight edge.
5. Loosen the two larger lock screws
6. Use the small set screws

opposite side of the blade and repeat adjustments as needed.
7. Lightly tighten the two larger lock screws
8. Place a square flat against the riving knife to verify the riving knife is vertical and in-line with
the blade.
9. If needed, use the set screws to bring the riving knife vertical with the square.
10. Repeat step 4 to verify position of riving knife. Repeat 5 through 9 if necessary.
11. Fully tighten the two larger lock screws

WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with
and
saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle. If any dragging or binding
of the material is encountered as it reaches the riving knife, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source. Ensure proper riving knife alignment before attempting
another cut.

Saw Blades

WARNING: Riving knives must be matched to saw blade dimensions in order to function
effectively. Refer to splitter and Riving Knife selection. Use only 8-1/4" (210 mm)
diameter blades with this table saw.
• The saw blade furnished with your new saw is a 8-1/4" (210 mm) combination blade,
used for crosscutting (across the grain) and ripping (with the grain) through the
material. The center hole to fit on the arbor is 5/8" (16 mm) diameter. This blade will
produce a good quality cut for most applications.
• There are many types of blades available to do specific and special jobs such as cross cut
only, rip only, hollow ground, thin plywood, paneling, etc.
• Use only saw blades designed for maximum safe operating speeds of 6000 RPM
or greater.
• Saw blades should always be kept sharp. It is recommended that you locate a reputable
sharpening service to sharpen your blades when needed.
• Never stack blades on top of one another to store. Place material such as cardboard
between them to keep the blades from coming in contact with one another.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, abrasive wheels or blades (including diamond)
should not be used on this saw.
Splitter and Riving Knife Selection (Fig. N)

WARNING: To minimize the risk of kickback and to ensure proper cutting, the splitter and
riving knife must be the proper thickness for the blade used.
The splitter and riving knife supplied with this table saw is the correct size for the blade supplied
with the saw.
If a different blade is used, check the blade body (plate) thickness and the blade kerf (cutting)
width marked on the blade or on the blade packaging. The splitter and riving knife thickness
must be greater than the body thickness and less than the kerf width as shown in Figure N.
