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 the
sawblade must be parallel to both the miter gauge
GROOVE and the RIP FENCE.
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge
groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut.
(This is known as "HEELING"). Check the sawblade
as follows.
WARNING -- FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY MAKE
CERTAIN THAT SWITCH IS "OFF" AND POWER
CORD IS REMOVED FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE CHECKING OR ADJUSTING

blade of the square.
3. Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if
MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.
4. If tooth touches square at FRONT and
REAR ..sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER
GAUGE GROOVE.
5. If tooth does nottouch the same amount.., the
mechanism underneath must be adjusted to
make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.
A. Rear trunnion must be moved TOWARD the
combination square if there is a space
between marked tooth and end of square in
