Squaring The Saw Blade To The Fence - Craftsman 315.212500 Operator's Manual

SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE
FENCE
See Figures 17 - 20.
• Unplug your saw.
_, WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
• Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the
lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
• Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-
half turn.
• Raise the miter lock plate and rotate the miter
table until the pointer on the control arm is
positioned at 0 °.
• Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten
the miter lock handle.
• Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place
one leg of the square against the fence. Slide the
other leg of the square against the flat part of saw
blade.
Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat
part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
• The edge of the square and the saw blade should
be parallel as shown in figure 17.
• If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles
away from the square as shown in figures 18 and
19, adjustments are needed.
• Using the 8 mm hex key provided, loosen the
socket head screws that secure the mounting
bracket to the miter table. See Figure 20.
• Rotate the mounting bracket left or right until the
saw blade is parallel with the square.
• Retighten the screws securely and recheck the
blade-to-fence alignment.
