ADJUSTMENT
OR
PARALLELISM
OF THE SAWBLAOE
TO
THE MITER GAUGE
GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight
line
PARALLELto the SAWBLADE, therefore, both
the Miter
Gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must
be PARAL-
LEL to the SAWBLADE.
WARNING:
if the sawblade is NOT parallel
with
the Miter Gauge Groove, it is said to have
"HEEL'.
This condition can cause the workpiece
to bind
or
move away from the Rip Fence at the end
of a rip
cut, possibly causing a kickback.
I WARNING:
To avoid injury from accide ntai
stall,
make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not
con-
nected to power source outlet.
1. Raise blade to highest elevation.
2. Lift Blade Guard, if already installed, to highest
posi-
tion.
3. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth of the sawbiade
which
is naturally bent to the left.
4. Place the head of a combination
square
in the
left
Miter Gauge Groove and adjust the ruler blade
of the
square so that the end of the blade just touches
the
14
side of the tooth you marked on the sawblade.
Re-
member to keep the head of the square flush against
the Miter Gauge Groove.
5. Rotate the sawblade so that the "X" on the tooth is
now visible at the rear of the saw.
