Adjusting Blade Alignment (Fig. L)
(Blade Parallel to Miter Slot)
WARNING: Cut Hazard. Check the blade at 0˚ and 45˚ to make sure blade does not hit the
throat plate, causing personalinjury.
If the blade appears to be out of alignment with the miter slot on the table top, it will require
calibration for alignment. To realign the blade and miter slot, use the following procedure:

Fence Alignment Adjustment (Fig. H, N)
(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

Position 1 Fence Alignment
1. Install the fence in position 1 (Refer to Figure H) and unlock the rail lock lever
5
. Locate both
locator pins 
34
that support the fence on the front and rearrails.
2. Loosen the rear locator pin screw and adjust the allignment 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
21
as a guide for
positioning, align the pins (Fig.N).
3. Tighten the locator pins (front and rear).
Aligning Riving Knife to Blade (Fig. O)
1. Remove the throat plate. Refer to Removing the Throat Plate underAssembly.
2. Raise the blade to full depth of cut and 0° bevelangle.
3. Locate the three small set screws
50
adjacent to the riving knife lock knob
33
. These screws
will be used to adjust the riving knifeposition.
4. Lay a straight edge on the table against two blade tips. The riving knife should not touch the
straightedge.
5. If needed, loosen the two larger lock screws
51
.
6. Use the small set screws
50
to adjust the riving knife position. Lay the straight edge on the
opposite side of the blade and repeat adjustments asneeded.
7. Lightly tighten the two larger lock screws
51
.
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 thru 9 ifnecessary.
