INSTALLATION

Positioning table saw
Fig.1
Fig.2
Fig.3
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in the
bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw on
the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in
the top of the work bench the same size as the opening
in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop
through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.

The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to
the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops,
proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it.
Place a triangular rule on the table and check to see if
the blade is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade
is at an angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws
clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the
adjusting screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive
stops.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to
the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that
its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation.
