ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
tool is unplugged from the power supply and the
switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
The saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very
accurate cuts. However, some of the components might
have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also,
over a period of time, readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear.
Do not start any adjustments until you have checked with
a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are
needed.
ALIGNING THE RIP GUIDE WITH THE
CUTTING WHEEL
See Figure 23.
For the most accurate results, the rip guide must be aligned
with the cutting wheel.
 Unplug the saw.
 Make sure the cutting wheel has been correctly installed
on the arbor and the arbor nut has been securely tight-
ened.
 Raise the splash hood.
 Slightly loosen the two screws on top of the rip guide.
 Position the rip guide scale at “0” on the side of the cut-
ting wheel.
 Lock the clamp.
 Carefully adjust the rip guide until it is just touching the
cutting wheel. Do not push against the wheel. Adjust the
guide until there are no gaps between the wheel and the
edge of the rip guide.
 Tighten the two screws on top of the rip guide.
