    3. Level the extension wing with the saw table across its entire width, using a straight edge and hammer with block of wood (or rubber hammer). See Figure 5. As each area of the wing becomes flush with the table, tighten the screw under that area.

  • Page 10: Motor Cover

    A power plug is not provided with the Model 66. You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire” the machine directly to your electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the machine for the operator.

  • Page 11: Extension Cords

    Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine. Extension Cords If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

  • Page 14: Tilting Mechanism Adjustment

    If the saw raising arm has been re-located, the table may have to be realigned so as to provide clearance between the saw blade and table insert slot. The splitter will also have to be realigned. NOTE: The saw arm setscrew must be tight to avoid the possibility of movement which could cause the blade to hit the insert.
