Adjusting Blade Parallel To Table Slot; Typical Operations And Helpful Hints - Delta Sidekick 36-210 Instruction Manual

ADJUSTING BLADE
PARALLEL TO TABLE SLOT
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2. NOTE: This adjustment should be checked with the
cutting arm moved all the way to the right (blade 90
degrees to the table) and the table in the 90 degree
straight cut-off position (blade 90 degrees to the fence).
3. Lower the cutting arm. The saw blade (A) Fig. 32,
should be parallel to the left edge (B) of the table open-
ing.
4. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen three screws
(C) Fig. 32, and move the cutting arm until the blade is
parallel with the left edge (B) of the table opening. Then
tighten the three screws (C).
1. Before cutting, make certain the cutting arm and table are at their cor-
rect settings and firmly locked in place.
2. Before cutting, determine that the workpiece is the right size for the
saw.
3. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly against the
fence. Fig. 33, illustrates the standard equipment work clamp (A) being used
to clamp a workpiece to the fence. The clamp (A) can also be used on the
right side of the machine.
4. For best results cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
5. WARNING: If the workpiece you are cutting would cause your hand to
be within 4 inches of the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in
place before making cut. See Fig. 33.
6. Never attempt any freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly against
the fence and table).
