ground blades, the blade should be raised

/8″ to

/4″ above

the top surface of the material being cut. W ith hollow

ground blades, the blade should be raised the maximum

to provide greater clearance. To raise the saw blade,

loosen lock knob (B) Fig. 67, and turn the handwheel (A),

clockwise. To lower the saw blade, turn handwheel (A)

counterclockwise.

The saw blade is locked at any height by turning the lock knob (B) Fig. 67, clockwise. Due to the wedge action of this

locking device, only a small amount of force is required to lock the blade raising mechanism securely. Any added force

merely puts unnecessary strain on the locking device.

Limit stop s for raising or lowering are permanently built into the mechanism and need no further adjustment.

BLADE TILTING MECHANISM

The blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tilted up to 45 degrees to the lef t.

To tilt the saw blade to an angle, loosen lock knob (D) Fig. 67, and turn handwheel (C) until the pointer (F) indicates the

desired angle of tilt on scale (E). To lock the saw blade at the desired angle, tighten lock knob (D).

IMPORTANT: ALW AYS LOCK THE BLADE IN POSITION BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE SAW .

ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STO P S

Positive stop s are provided to quickly and accurately position the blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the t able. To check and

adjust the positive stop s, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Raise the saw blade all the way to the top and turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go.

3. Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the t able.

4. If an adjustment is necessary, turn the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise one turn.

5. Loosen locknut (A) Fig. 68, and turn adjusting screw (B) counter clockwise, one turn.

6. T urn the blade tilting handwheel until the blade is 90 degrees to the t able.

7. T urn adjusting head screw (B) clockwise, until it just cont act s the casting on the front trunnion, then tighten locknut

(A).

8. Check to see if the tilt indicator pointer point s to the zero mark on the scale. Adjust if necessary.

9. T urn the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go. Using a combination square, check to see if the

blade is at 45 degrees to the t able.

10. If an adjustment is necessary, turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise one turn, until the adjusting screw (D) Fig.

69, and locknut (C) are in view, in the opening in the front of the saw cabinet, as shown in Fig. 69.
