Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
Unplug the
tool
before any adjustment
is
attempted.
This tool
is
factory adjusted
to pro-
vide the max. cutting capacity for a 255 mm (IO") saw blade. When the diameter of the
blade has been reduced due to sharpening, adjust the lower limit position of the blade as
follows:
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the
socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of
the blade extends slightly
below the top surface
of
the turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence
meets the top surface of the turn base. With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand
while holding the handle all the away down to be sure that the blade does not contact any
part of the lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary
