SQUARING BLADE TO FENCE See Figures 31A - 31C. This procedure squares the miter angle of the blade to the fence to reduce the risk of binding and kickback. If the blade is not square to the fence, the yoke assembly must be rotated slightly. Have a framing square, a 1/2 in. wrench, and a phillips screwdriver at hand. The blade should be lowered to just clear the table. Release the carriage lock knob. ,_ WARNING: The blade must be angled at 90 ° to the fence when the handle is at the front of the saw. If not, kickback could result during a cross cut. Kickback can cause serious injury by throwing the workpiece toward the operator. In addition, a faulty miter angle on the blade can splinter or burn the cut edges of the workpiece during cross cuts or rip cuts. • Use the arm lock knob to index and lock the arm in 0 ° miter position (straight forward). • Pull the yoke assembly forward to the front of the arm. Lock the carriage lock knob. • Place the short end of the framing square against the fence. Rotate the square to 45 ° to the table. Place the long edge across the flat surface of the blade, below the center of the blade. (Do not place the edge against a tooth.) • Check whether the blade is flat against the edge for the entire length or whether a gap is visible. • If the blade needs adjustment, remove the right side carriage cover with a phillips screwdriver. ARM LOCKKNOB • Release the yoke lock handle (below the yoke on the right). With a 1/2 in. wrench, slightly loosen the two hex bolts holding the yoke pivot latch. • Rotate yoke assembly until the gap is eliminated. • Lock the yoke lock handle. Retighten the two hex bolts on the yoke pivot latch. • Replace the carriage cover. • Loosen the carriage lock knob and guide the yoke assembly to the back of the arm.

SQUARING
BLADE
TO FENCE
See Figures

-
31C.
This procedure
squares
the miter angle of the blade to
the fence to reduce the risk of binding and kickback.
If
the blade is not square to the fence, the yoke assem-
bly must be rotated slightly.
Have a framing
square, a
1/2 in. wrench, and a phillips screwdriver
at hand. The
blade should be lowered to just clear the table.
Release the carriage lock knob.

WARNING:
The blade must be angled at 90 ° to
the fence when the handle is at the front of the
saw.
If not, kickback
could result during a cross
cut. Kickback
can cause serious injury by throw-
ing the workpiece
toward the operator.
In addi-
tion, a faulty miter angle on the blade can splinter
or burn the cut edges of the workpiece
during
cross cuts or rip cuts.
•
Use the arm lock knob to index and lock the arm in
0 ° miter position (straight
forward).
•
Pull the yoke assembly
forward to the front of the
arm. Lock the carriage lock knob.
•
Place the short end of the framing square against
the fence. Rotate the square to 45° to the table.
Place the long edge across
the flat surface of the
blade, below the center of the blade. (Do not place
the edge against a tooth.)
•
Check whether
the blade is flat against the edge for
the entire length or whether a gap is visible.
•
If the blade needs adjustment,
remove the right side
carriage cover with a phillips screwdriver.
