ELEVATION LOCK
When correctly adjusted, the elevation mechanism is locked
securely when the ELEVATION LOCK KNOB is approx.
one inch from the front of the saw.
After extended use, the ELEVATION LOCK SCREW and
NUT may wear, which will cause the lock to slip.
1. Tilt blade to 45 °.
2. Remove retaining screw, using a 3/8 in. wrench.
3. Move LOCK WRENCH in the direction of the arrow
(this will tighten the LOCK NUT) only enough to
replace the retaining screw in the next hole.
4. If retaining screw is in last hole as shown, lift LOCK
WRENCH off of LOCK NUT and reposition it by
rotating it CLOCKWISE.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH

YOUR SAW.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the saw cabinet and the motor.
Frequently clean your cutting tools with Craftsman Gum
and Pitch Remover.
A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will
help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide
more freely. Treat unplated and unpainted steel parts and
surfaceswith Sears "Stop Rust."
If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI-KICKBACK pawls are
always sharp. To sharpen:
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Rotate pawl toward rear of spreader so that teeth are
above top of spreader.
3. Hold spreader with left hand and place pawl over corner
of workbench.
4. Using a small round file (Smooth Cut) sharpen the
teeth.
