Adjustments

Adjusting Blade Support/Guide Height

The upper blade support and guide mechanism

can be adjusted to accomodate the height of the

work piece.

1. To adjust the support, loosen the knob that

clamps the support rod, then move the support

up or down in its holder. (Refer to Figure 3 for

location of the support mechanism.)

2. Adjust the support so that there is space

between the support and work piece. Space of

approximately 1/8-inch is generally appropriate.

Adjusting Blade Tension

Blade tension is set by a spring loaded tension

mechanism on the upper drive wheel. Check the

level of the tension device before cutting. The

tension for various blade widths is indicated on the

casting on the tension device.

Figure 8. Table Tilt Mechanism and Angle Gauge

Adjusting Table Angle

(Refer to Figure 8.) The angle gauge is under the

front of the table. The angle gauge shows the

angle of the table relative to the saw blade. The

table is mounted on trunnions that allow

adjustment downward 45 degrees, and upward 10

degrees. Loosen the two trunnion lock knobs

slightly to adjust the table angle and retighten the

lock knobs.

NOTE: By adjusting the positive leveling stop on

the table leveling mechanism, it is possible to tilt

the table upward 10 degrees. When returning to

0 degrees, the table leveling mechanism must

be reset after completing the sawing operation

(refer to Machine Set-up).

WARNING: When cutting at an angle with a

tilted table, provide a guide against which

the material being cut can rest. Cutting

“freehand” at an angle can result in injury,

and make it difficult to maintain an accurate

cut.

Leveling Work Table

The table can be adjusted to level the table relative

to the saw blade. Use the following method:

WARNING: The saw must be turned off and

power disconnected any time the gearbox

lubricant is being drained or filled.

1. Unplug the electrical cord or open the circuit
