OPERATION
Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance
from the inside face of the blade tooth to the left edge
of the right miter gauge groove. If the distances are the
same, the blade and the miter gauge groove are parallel.
Replace blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls.
If the distances are different:
Remove the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting
handwheel.
Loosen the outer screws 1/2 turn; this allows the
mechanism beneath the table to be shifted sideways.
NOTE: The screws are located at the rear of the saw
under the top of the saw table.
Turn the alignment screw left or right until the blade is
parallel to the miter gage groove.
Tighten the outer screws. Check again for parallelism
and continue to adjust if needed.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align
the rip fence to the blade following any blade
adjustments. Always make sure the rip fence
is parallel to the blade before beginning any
operation.
MAKING CUTS
WARNING:
Before making any cuts, make sure that the table
saw stand is on a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room to handle and properly support
the table saw and the workpiece. If a suitable
location can not be found, then the saw should
not be used. Operating the saw in a location that
does not provide adequate space and stable
footing for the table saw stand could create
a tipping hazard which could result in serious
personal injury.
This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all
mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any cuts
not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar with the
proper procedures and necessary accessories. Your local
library has many books on table saw usage and specialized
woodworking procedures for your reference.
The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combination
blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations. Carefully
check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to
assure proper clearance before connecting saw to power
source. Stand slightly to the side of the blade path to reduce
the chance of injury should kickback occur.
