Once table is mounted to the trunnion bracket (see section below) and the blade is mounted in the saw (see section “Changing Blades”) you may choose to fine tune the blade parallel to the miter slot. Using a square positioned in the miter slot, loosen screws shown in Figure 2 and lightly tap the table into position so the blade is parallel with the miter slot. Then gently tighten down the screws.
