How to adjust the blade alignment on your Detroit table saw

• Unplug the table saw’s power cord from the wall outlet.
• Raise the blade to its highest cutting position and lift off the blade guard assembly.
• Loosen the bevel lock, set the blade to 90-degrees (straight up), and then tighten the bevel lock handle. Mark the right side of one blade tooth using a felt-tip marker. Rotate the marked blade tooth so that it's 1/2 inch above the table at the front of the blade.
• Place the base of a combination square in the right side miter gauge groove. Adjust the combination square to that the ruler tip touches the marked blade tooth and lock the ruler.
• Rotate the blade to bring the marked tooth to 1/2 inch above the table at the rear of the blade. Slide the combination square to the rear of the blade and determine the direction and degree of misalignment.
• Adjust the blade. If the blade is partial to the right side, turn the left adjustment screw counterclockwise and the right adjustment screw clockwise to align the blade. Turn the right adjustment screw counterclockwise and the left adjustment screw clockwise to align the blade if it's partial to the left side.
