Help with Unisaw setup

A friend just got a used unisaw from his son that has been moved several times
and is having trouble setting it up.. Any web pages or suggestions to help him?

I'm not familiar with Unisaw, but his main problem seems to be table-to-blade
alignment and getting access to the trunnion bolts..

Best to get it really close by using a some kind of dial indicator
setup.

What CW said. The 4 bolts under the top are where you adjust. Make
sure to check with your blade tilted to be sure you are over far
enough for the tilted blade to clear the drop plate.

He doesn't need access to the trunion bolts. Loosen the bolts that hold the
top on. Move the table until it lines up. Tighten bolts. Much easier than a
contractors saw.
