BLADE RAISING MECHANISM

The saw blade is raised and lowered with the front

handwheel (A) Fig. 41. With the exception of hollow

ground blades, the blade should be raised 1/8" to 1/4"

above the top surface of the material being cut. With

hollow ground blades, the blade should be raised the

maximum to provide greater clearance. To raise the saw

blade, loosen lock knob (B) Fig. 41, 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. 41, 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 stops 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 left.

To tilt the saw blade to the desired angle, loosen lock

knob (D) Fig. 41, and turn handwheel (C). A pointer

indicates the angle of tilt on scale (E), which is marked in

one-degree increments. To lock the saw blade in the

desired angle of tilt, tighten lock knob (D).

ALWAYS LOCK THE BLADE IN

POSITION BEFORE STARTING THE

SAW.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the

motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading

(cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw

beyond its capacity, etc.) or low voltage, let the motor

cool three to five minutes. The overload will

automatically reset itself and the machine can then be

started again by pressing the “ON” button.

IMPORTANT: If the motor continually shuts off due to

overloading, the cause of overloading must be

corrected. If this happens, it is recommended that you

contact a qualified electrician.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW

1. To start the machine, push “ON” button (A) Fig. 39.

2. To stop the machine, push “OFF” button (B).

MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN

THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE

PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A

POWER FAILURE, PUSH THE “OFF” BUTTON. AN

ACCIDENTAL START-UP CAN CAUSE INJURY.

LOCKING SWITCH IN “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the

switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent

unauthorized use,

using a padlock (A) Fig. 40 with a 3/16"

diameter shackle. NOTE: GPE switch shown.
