BLADE RAISING HANDWHEEL

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.

ALWAYS LOCK THE BLADE IN POSITION

BEFORE STARTING THE SAW.

BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL

The blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tilted

up to 45 degrees to the right.

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.

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.

OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW

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

2. To stop the machine, push the “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, MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF”

POSITION. 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 (C) Fig. 40 with a

3/16" diameter shackle. NOTE: Magnetic starter switch

shown.
