POSITIVE STOP YOKE INDEX
Yoke index lever (A) Fig. 71, activates a positive stop
which positions the cutting-head in the cross-cut or rip
position. To rotate the cutting-head, release yoke clamp
handle, press up or down on yoke index lever (A),
releasing the positive stop, and rotate the cutting-head to
the #1 in-rip or #2 out-rip or #3 cross-cut positions as
desired. Release the yoke index lever (A) Fig. 71, and the
cutting-head will automatically index at each of the three
positions above.
POSITIVE STOP BEVEL INDEX
Bevel index knob (A) Fig. 72, provides a positive stop
when positioning the saw blade at zero, 45°, and 90° left,
and 90° right on the bevel scale (C). To change the angle
of the saw blade, loosen bevel clamp handle (B), pull out
bevel index knob (A) and tilt saw blade and motor. For
zero, 45°, and 90° left, and 90° right positions, release
bevel index knob (A) and saw blade will index at each of
these positions. Then tighten bevel clamp handle (B). For
saw blade angles between positive stops, set blade at
desired angle on bevel scale (C) and tighten bevel clamp
handle (B) Fig. 72.
ADJUSTING SPLITTER AND
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
During ripping operations, the splitter (A) Fig. 73, must
ride in the saw kerf and the anti-kickback fingers (B)
should be touching the workpiece to prevent kickback.
1. Set the saw up in the ripping position with the blade
guard lowered on the in-feed side to act as a holddown.
2. Start a piece of material through the saw as shown in
Fig. 73.
3. Shut off saw and disconnect from power source.
4. Adjust the arm (C) Fig. 73, so that it is vertical and the
splitter (A) is in the saw kerf.
5. If the splitter (A) Fig. 73, does not line up with the saw
kerf, loosen hex nuts (D), and position splitter (A) into saw
kerf as shown. Then tighten hex nuts (D) against arm (C).
The straight side of the splitter should be toward the blade
as shown in Fig. 73, and the anti-kickback fingers should
rest on the workpiece as shown. NOTE: The clamp knob
for arm (C) must be tight. Move arm (C) front to back
while tightening clamp knob with other hand to be
sure clamp is firmly seated and tight.
6. Pull backward on the workpiece to determine if the
anti-kickback fingers bite into the material and prevent
further backward movement. If necessary, readjust height
of arm (C) Fig. 73.
