To check the alignment of the miter slot to the 
blade: 

1.  Raise the blade to its maximum height at the 

90º vertical position (0º on scale). 

2.  Mark one tooth with a grease pencil and 

position the tooth slightly above the top edge of 
the table at the front. 

3.  Raise the miter gauge slightly out of its slot to 

serve as a shoulder. Using a combination 
square against the side of the bar, slide the 
scale over until it touches the tip of the blade, 
and lock the scale in position (A, Fig. 13).  

4.  Rotate the marked tooth so that it is slightly 

above the table top at the rear (B, Fig. 13) and 
using the square as before, check whether the 
distance to the blade is the same. 

5.  If the distance is not the same, loosen the four 

mounting screws that lock the table top to the 
cabinet (two in front, two in back). 

6.  Nudge the table to bring the miter slot in line 

with the blade. 

The blade must be kept centered with the slot 
in the table insert to ensure clearance at both 
the 90º and 45º positions. 

7.  After alignment, secure the table to the cabinet 

by re-tightening the four mounting screws. 

 

1.  Adjust the blade tilt for 90º as described in 

Blade Tilt Adjustment on page 14. 

2. Using a combination square, check the 

90º stop (Figure 14 shows the 90º stop being 
checked). 

3.  Adjust the 90º stop position if required, using 

the stop screws as shown.  

The 90º stop adjustment is accessible though 
the left side opening. 14mm wrenches are 
required to loosen the lock nut and adjust the 
screw. 

4.  Check the accuracy of the pointer at 0º (blade 

at 90º vertical position)

 

and adjust if required. 

5.  Adjust the blade tilt for 45º. If required, adjust 

the stop and pointer in the same manner. as 
above. The 45º stop adjustment is accessible 
though the slot on the front of the cabinet.
