OPERATION ADJUSTING THE BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE (REMOVING HEEL) See Figures 36 - 37. RIGHT MITER GAUGE GROOVE WARNING: The blade must be made parallel to the miter gauge groove so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Do not loosen any bolts for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are necessary. Once the bolts are loosened, these items must be reset.  Unplug the saw.  Remove the blade guard and riving knife. Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.  Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the blade. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the inside face of the blade tooth to the left edge of the right miter gauge groove. NOTE: For greater accuracy, place the marked blade tooth on top of the ruler.  Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.  Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance from the inside face of the blade tooth to the left edge of the right miter gauge groove. If the distances are the same, the blade and the miter gauge groove are parallel.  Replace blade guard and riving knife. If the distances are different:  Remove the blade guard and riving knife. Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.  Loosen the locking bolts by turning towards the left. NOTE: The bolts are located above the height/bevel adjusting handwheel and under the saw table in the front of the saw.  Turn adjusting bolt left or right until the blade is square.  Tighten the locking bolts. Check again for squareness and continue to adjust if needed.

See Figures 36 - 37.
WARNING:
The blade must be made parallel to the miter gauge
groove so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Do not loosen any bolts for this adjustment until you have
checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjust-
ments are necessary. Once the bolts are loosened, these
items must be reset.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade guard and riving knife. Raise the blade
by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.
Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the
blade. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the inside
face of the blade tooth to the left edge of the right miter
gauge groove.
NOTE:
For greater accuracy, place the marked blade
tooth on top of the ruler.
Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance
from the inside face of the blade tooth to the left edge
of the right miter gauge groove. If the distances are the
same, the blade and the miter gauge groove are parallel.
Replace blade guard and riving knife.
If the distances are different:
Remove the
blade guard and riving knife. Raise the blade
by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.
Loosen the locking bolts by turning towards the left.
NOTE:
The bolts are located above the height/bevel
adjusting handwheel and under the saw table in the front
of the saw.
Turn adjusting bolt left or right until the blade is square.
Tighten the locking bolts. Check again for squareness
and continue to adjust if needed.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip
fence to the blade following any blade adjustments.
Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade
before beginning any operation.
