[The Terminator]Why did Future John set Kyle's arrival time so close to the Terminator"s

This does not make any sense when you have time machine at your disposal. When John/The Resistance set the co-ordinates/date for Kyle, why did they send him back so close to the Terminator's arrival. Why not simply send him back a week or two prior. This would have given him ample time to reach Sarah and get her out of the city. From what I recall, it was never suggested that the TDE had any sort of limitation terms of how far one can time travel, but I could be wrong.

It was a new technology, and there wasn't really any time to develop it. They basically used the time coordinates that were already put in... it's complicated, but with the earth's movement in orbit and rotation, the output was already not identical to the first trip, though similar. The whole thing would've been a lot easier if it were attached to a flux capacitor.
