HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight line
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE . therefore both the
miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawblade IS NOT para)lel to the miter gauge groove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut, (This is known as
"'HEELING").
To check for p_rallelism:
WARNING - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET.
1. Raise blade all the way up... raise blade guard.
2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent)
to the LEFT.
3. Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE . . adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth.
4. Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if MARKED
tooth again touches blade of square.
5. )f tooth touches square the same amount at FRONT
and REAR . . . sawblade s PARALLEL to MITER
GAUGEGROOVE.
if tooth does not touch front and rear.., the mechanism
underneath must be adjusted to make the blade
PARALLEL to GROOVE.
1, Loosen the 4 screws (about 1/4 to 1/2 turn) using 3/16
in. setscrew wrench furnished with saw. Also loosen the
2 pan head 10-32 screws (about 1/4 to 1/2 turn)
located at rear of the table top asshown. This will allow
the mechanism below the table to be shifted sideways.
2. Fold a piece of cardboard or heavy paper over the blade
to protect your hands.
3. Graso the blade and move it to the right or left a small
amount and tighten one of the screws.

touches square the sameamount at front and rear.
It it does, tighten other three screws. If it does not,
loosen screw and move blade the required amount,
5. Alternately tighten the screws slowly.
NOTE: Use the setscrew wrench as shown . . , do not
use a pair of pliers or any other tool to gain more
leverageon the setscrew wrench.
BLADE TI LT, OR SQUARENESS
OF BLADE TO TABLE
90° (SQUARE) and 45° (BEVEL) STOP COLLARS.
When the bevel _inter is pointing directly to the "0"" mark
on the bevel scale, the sawblade should make a SQUARE
cut 90° to the table,
To check for SQUARENESS:
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET.
1. Raise blade all the way4JP.., raise blade guard,
