TABLE POINTER ADJUSTMENT

If an adjustment to the table pointer is necessary,
loosen pointer ad justment screw, adjust pointer
and tighten screw (Fig. 31).
The table pointer should always be adjusted
relative to fence pointer.
1. Adjust fence pointer to (zero) - see "Rip Fence
Pointer Adjustment".
2. Make sure the table is in the closed position
and slide fence to the right until the fence
pointer is at 10". (Note: A portion of the fence
will be off the rail.)
3. Look at fence pointer and note 10" on lower
scale.
4. Adjust the table pointer to the same reading
on upper scale as that shown on the fence
pointer. Both pointers must agree when fence
is at this position.
RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT
IMPORTANT: The Riving Knife must always be
in line with the Saw Blade. The Riving Knife is
thinner than the width of the Kerf by approxi-
mately three thicknesses of paper on each side
(Fig. 32). Note: The Kerf is the width of the cut
made by the teeth on the saw blade.
To prevent personal injury, al-
ways disconnect plug from

power source before making any adjust-
ments and when attaching or removing the
Smart guard System.
CHECKING RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT
Check riving knife alignment
to blade periodically and make
adjustments as necessary. Improperly aligned WARNING
riving knife may result in work piece instability, loss
of control, and KICKBACK. If the riving knife is
misaligned and cannot be adjusted, do not attempt
to operate the saw. Have a qualified service tech-
nician perform riving knife alignment.
1. Check that the blade is properly aligned parallel
with the miter gauge groove per instructions
listed under "Adjusting Blade Parallel to Miter
Gauge slots" (page 20) and adjust the blade if
necessary. Check that the rip fence is aligned
with the blade (see instructions listed under
"Aligning Rip Fence", page 21) and adjust the
rip fence if necessary.
