OK, that concludes our walk-through of the upper works, let's now move on to Figure 14 and
check out the bottom details.
Looking at Figure 14, we have the following:
Figure 14 This figure shows location of adjusting knobs and screws.
1.
Adjustment screws for blade guides. These are functionally Identical to those described in
the above section.The lower roller bearing is adjusted by sliding the bearing over. As before,
this roller bearing works the same way as the one described for upper blade guide.
2.
The bearing described in the preceding sentence is locked in place by meansof a setscrew.
3.
Shows the alien screw that is used to secure the steel blade guide holder.
4.
This bolt is used to aid in setting the level point on the table, and is fitted with a lock nut.
5.
These two star knobs secure the table to the half-moon supports. Loosening these allows the
table to be quickly adjusted for cutting angles.
B. BLADE ADJUSTMENT
When the saw left the factory, the blade was correctly tensioned and adjusted as part of the final
inspection process. Unfortunately, this equipment has traveled a long way to reach you;
depend ing on where you I ive, th is could be over 10,000 m i les. That is a lot of josti ing arou nd on a
truck or a train, to say nothing of the boat ride! The bottom line is - it is unlikely that the saw will be
usable "as-is" so far as blade adjustment goes. So, before we "power-up", let's check this out
now.
