On my saw, I adjusted the wheels to be co-planar as best as possible. I also adjusted the table to square to the machine (and to the blade), then adjusted the fence to the cutting path. My machine has a feeder, so I adjust it so that it splits the kerf evenly with an equal amount of kerf on either side of the band as it cuts.

If the blade pulls away or drives toward the fence as you're cutting, then the kerf is one of the first areas I look at.

I also look to see that the blade isn't being pushed into the thrust bearing or riding the guide bearings when you are cutting.
