SAW ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION UNPACKING YOUR 3512 SERIES SAW Your 3512 series saw system has been completely assembled, tested, and then partially disassembled. The shipment of your saw contains the following items: The 3512 Series Saw, (4) frame legs, arbor wrenches, allen hex wrench kit, hardware to attach legs.
SAW ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION Check Arbor Rotation (3 Phase Only) Check arbor rotation with arbor nut and arbor collars removed. Open line disconnect to the saw to remove arbor nut and col- lars, close the line disconnect and start saw. The rotation of the arbor must be clockwise as indicated on the arrow on the nameplate.
Page 15
Mounting the Blade ( Caution! Disconnect power source before mounting blade.) Place the hex box wrench over the arbor nut and place the long allen wrench in the arbor shaft end hole. Place a wood striking block under the allen wrench to avoid marring the tabletop. Push down on the hex wrench to loosen nut (left hand threaded).
Page 16
General Safety Precautions Be sure the blade rotates clockwise when facing the saw from the left side. Blade must rotate to the front of the saw. Be sure all clamp handles are tight before turning on motor. Keep the blade sharp and properly set. Hold or clamp the material firmly against the guide strip when cutting.
Operating Instructions !!! CAUTION !!! BOTH UPPER AND LOWER GUARDS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE FOR SAFE CUTTING OPERATION. Moving the Arm Horizontally and Vertically The elevating crank is used to raise or lower the arm to accommodate cutting operations (see below left). Do not adjust the height of the saw while the motor is running.
Operating Instructions Cross Cutting Lock the arm in the 0 position. Place the material securely against the guide strip– keep hands well away from the blade. Draw the saw blade across the materi- al. After the cut has been completed return the blade behind the guide strip.

Maintenance Adjustments and Alignments Caution! Disconnect and lockout power supply before making any adjustments or alignments. Your saw has been completely assembled, aligned and tested at the factory...then partially disassembled for shipment. Han- dling during shipment may cause some misalignment and the following information will enable you to correct any cutting inaccuracy you discover.
Maintenance Adjustments and Alignments Adjustment of the Rollerhead to Arm (cont’d) Insert socket wrench into bottom of bearing shaft (C) and turn until the bearing touches the arm track on both top and bottom radii. Repeat for both shafts. Bearings should be tightened only so that they roll and do not slide.

To Square Saw Blade with the Table Top Pull the saw to middle of table and lock into place. Make sure the tabletop is level and place a steel square against the side of the blade; the square should be against the gullets and not the teeth of the blade.
Page 22
If after making these adjustments the blade continues to heel, particularly if the blade heels on both sides of the material, the blade may require tensioning. If the blade must be re-tensioned contact your local distributor or Original Saw Company at 800-733-4063 or customerservice@originalsaw.com. Square the Saw Travel with the Guide Strip Place a square against the guide strip and along the path of the blade.
