Adjusting Sliding Fit Between Trunnion And Bevel Bracket - Delta 36-312 Instruction

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
1. Position the bevel detent plate so that the desired angle (A) Fig. 25 is exposed.
2. Lift the front handle (A) Fig. 26 to disengage the bevel lock.
3. Tilt the cuttinghead left until it stops on the plate (B) Fig. 25.
4. To adjust, loosen the pin locking set screw (C) Fig. 27 (shown from the rear), located on the side of the trunnion and rotate the
bushing (B) to the desired location. Rotate the bushing clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to increase the bevel
angle. Tighten screw (C) securely.

NOTE: To perform a bevel cut more than 45°, pull bevel pin (B)
Fig. 28 out to bypass the bevel detent plate. 48° is possible.
Make sure that the fence is clear of the
guard and blade before operating the
saw.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL LOCK
The bevel-locking force has been set at the factory. After a
period of time, you may need to adjust the locking
mechanism. To adjust, place the bevel-locking handle (A) Fig.
26 in the "UP" position and tighten the nut (A) Fig. 29.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN TRUNNION AND BEVEL BRACKET

After a period of time, it may become necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the trunnion and the bevel bracket by tightening the adjusting
nut (C) Fig. 29 at the rear of the tool.
Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the
tilting movement of the trunnion when bevel cutting, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING
The tension of the cuttinghead return spring has been adjusted at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the "up" position after
a cut has been made. To re-adjust the spring tension, loosen the nut (A) Fig. 30 and turn the adjusting screw (B) Fig. 30 clockwise to
increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension. Tighten nut (A) securely.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN
CUTTINGHEAD ARM AND TRUNNION
After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between
the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 31, and the trunnion (C) may be
necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct
adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two
parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts
the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose
that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
