RAISING AND LOWERING BLADE

To raise the saw blade, loosen lock knob (C) Fig. 59, and

turn the blade raising handwheel (D) clockwise. When

the blade is at the desired height, tighten lock knob (C).

To lower the blade, loosen lock knob (C) and turn the

handwheel (D) counterclockwise. NOTE: One full turn

of the handwheel will change blade height approxi-

mately 1/4".

TILTING THE BLADE

To tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen lock knob

(A) and turn the tilting handwheel (B). When the desired

blade angle is obtained, tighten lock knob (A).

ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE AND

45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS

Your saw is equipped with positive stops that will quickly

and accurately position the saw blade at 90 degrees and

45 degrees to the table. To check and adjust the positive

stops, proceed as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM

POWER SOURCE.

1. Raise the saw blade to its highest position.

2. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning the

blade tilting handwheel (B) Fig. 59 counterclockwise

as far as it will go.

3. Using a combination square (A) Fig. 60, check to see

if the blade is at 90 degrees to the table surface as

shown.

4. If the blade is not at 90 degrees to the table, move

the blade off of the stop by turning the handwheel (B)

Fig. 59 one turn clockwise. Loosen set screw (F) Fig.

60 with a 4mm hex wrench. Turn the blade tilting

handwheel until the blade is at 90 degrees to the

table. Tighten set screw (F) until it bottoms.

5. Adjust the hairline indicator (D) Fig. 61, to point to the

zero degree mark on the scale by loosening screws

(E), adjusting pointer (D), and tightening screws (E).

6. Turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it

will go and using a combination square, check to see

if the blade is at 45 degrees to the table.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The motor supplied with your saw is equipped with a

manual reset overload (A) Fig. 58. 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, move the ON/OFF switch

to the “OFF” position, let the motor cool three to five

minutes and push the reset button (A), which will reset

the overload device. The motor can then be turned on

again in the usual manner.

7. If the blade is not at 45 degrees to the table, move

the blade off of the stop by turning the handwheel (B)

Fig. 59 one turn counter-clockwise. Loosen set screw

(B) Fig. 60, and turn blade tilting handwheel until the

blade is 45 degrees to the table. Tighten set screw (B)

until it bottoms.
