ruler so it holds its position in the square assembly.

6. Rotate the blade bringing the marked tooth to the rear and

about 1/2" (13 mm) above the table.

7. Carefully, slide the combination square to the rear until the

ruler touches the marked tooth.

8. If the ruler touches the marked tooth at the front and rear

positions, no adjustment is necessary.

If the front and rear measurements are not the same, blade is

not parallel to the miter slot. Proceed to steps 9 –18 to perform
