Saw Blade Adjustments - Hi-Tech 22-229 Instruction Manual

SAW BLADE ADJUSTMENTS

BLADE POSITIONING &
CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENTS
Follow these four steps to adjust the position of
the saw arbor and saw blade so that the blade
does not make contact with the saw table.
1
Carefully remove the saw table and loosen the
two set screws located in the saw arbor using
the Allen wrench, turning counter-clockwise (Fig.
G). Once loosened, the saw arbor can slide side
to side.
2
Replace the saw table and position the saw
blade so that it is not in contact with the saw
table. Your blade should spin freely.
3
Manually rotate the saw blade until you see
one set screw exposed under the saw table
(Fig. H). Tighten this exposed set screw using the
Allen wrench, turning clockwise. Carefully remove
the saw table to tighten the other set screw. Both
set screws at this point should be tightened.
4
Replace the saw table and manually rotate
the saw blade, making sure the blade is
not making contact with the saw table, before
turning the trim saw on.
NEED A REPLACEMENT SET SCREW?
The two set screws located in the saw arbor are available at your local hardware store. The size of the
set screws are 18-8 stainless steel, cup point, 10-32 thread, 3/16" long.
