However, changes in humidity can slightly alter the condition of the wood. With the
Screw Clamps (131) tightened, use a straight edge or framing square to check for
flatness and squareness. Sand down any high spots using fine sandpaper.
2. Check for Arm tightness on the Column (132). If loose, tighten Bolt (115).
3. Check the crosscut travel of the Saw Blade for squareness.
- Lock or tighten all adjustment levers and knobs.
- Lower the Arm until it just clears the Table A front.
- Place a framing square so it just touches a tooth of the Saw
Blade.
- Mark this location with a pencil on the table and draw a straight
line using the square.
- Check that the Saw blade follows this line from front to back.
If the Saw Blade moves to the right or left side of the line as it travels the entire length
of the Arm, loosen the Screw Clamps (137) and lightly tap on the Table left or right side
until there is full travel alignment. Tighten the Screw Clamps again.
4. Check that the Saw Blade is square to Table A.
- Place a framing square on Table A so that the square is flat
on the Saw Blade (not touching teeth).
- If there is no gap between the square and the Saw Blade, no
adjustment is necessary.
- If the square does not touch the Saw Blade evenly (with the
square flat on the Table A), loosen the Bevel Lock Knob (71) and
adjust the motor until the gap between Saw Blade and the square
is eliminated.
5. Check that the Saw Blade is square to the rip fence.
- Firmly place a framing square against the rip fence and the blade
as shown to the right. The square should not touch any teeth.
- If the square is not flush with the entire blade, loosen the yoke
pivot Clamp Handle (66) and move the motor assembly until any
gaps have been eliminated. Tighten the Yoke Pivot Clamp and
recheck alignment. (This will simultaneously set both yoke indexing
positions for in and out ripping.)
In order to move the Saw Blade into different cutting positions, kerf marks (or grooves) must
be cut into the worktable. It is recommended to cut grooves into a piece of 1/4 inch plywood
mounted to the surface of Table A.
1. Cut a piece of 1/4 inch plywood the same size as Table A.
2. Mount the plywood to Table A using self-tapping, countersinking screws at the four
corners of Table A.
3. Set the Carriage Arm at 0 degrees and lock in place.
