Alignment and Adjustment
6. If arbor shaft moves into or away from
square, adjust radial arm:
to move radial arm toward right, loosen
two socket head screws on right, then
tighten two screws on left. Note: Loosen
and tighten screws equally.
to move radial arm toward left, loosen
two socket head screws on left, then
tighten two screws on right. Note: Loosen
and tighten screws equally.
7. When arbor shaft just touches square
at all points, raise and lower radial arm a
few times. If movement is difficult, slight-
ly and equally loosen all four socket head
screws.
Install Blade
1. Lock rip lock.
2. Raise radial arm. Lock motor at 0°
bevel (arbor shaft horizontal).
3. On arbor shaft put blade collar, then
blade, then second blade collar, then
blade nut. Note: Concave surfaces of
blade collars rest against blade. Make sure
directional arrow on blade is on outside
and points clockwise.
4. Use blade wrenches in scissor action to
tighten nut. Note: Arbor shaft has left-
hand threads. Turn nut counterclockwise
to tighten. Do not overtighten nut because
this can cause blade collar to warp and
blade to wobble during cutting.
Square Blade to Table for Crosscut-
ting
The goal of this adjustment is to make the
blade perpendicular to the table so that
crosscuts will be accurate; otherwise all
crosscuts will have a slight bevel angle.
1. I_wer blade until it just clears table.
Lock bevel, miter, rip, and swivel locks.
