COMBINATION SLAB & TRIM SAW INSTRUCTIONS
12", 14", & 16" MODELS
DESCRIPTION
Covington's Combination Trim & Slab Saws are similar in
design with different blade and pulley sizes. Sawing
operations remain the same.
These ruggedly built, fully enclosed units are constructed of
heavy gauge welded steel and feature an inspection window in
the hood. Separately welded inner frame eliminates warp.
One-piece vise carriage, mounted on ¾" steel rod and L way
guide, provides the rigidity necessary for fast cuts with heavy
loads. Vise carriage moves silently on way guide. A quick
return split clip allows the carriage to be manually returned to
any position.
Weight feed action for slabbing utilizes a scale, cord, and
weights fastened to vise. Deluxe power feed models with
overrunning clutch and cut-off switch are available.
The cross feed permits 4" of material to be slabbed without
reclamping. One turn of the spin knob moves the vise
crosswise 1/16" and can produce 10-12 uniform slabs. The
precision 5/8" arbor ball bearings are heavy duty, double
neoprene sealed, and greased for life.
Accessories include operating instructions, motor mount,
drop-in trim table, plastic window, slab-catcher, weight feed
scale, and cord.
INSTALLATION
Safety: Before plugging saw unit into an electrical supply read the Covington Safety Demands
sheet.
Saw Level: Place the portable saw on a sturdy platform or table and make sure the saw is level.
The optional leg stand features a leveling bolt on one leg; adjust the bolt to level saw.
Blade Mounting: The flange must fit snugly and evenly against the blade. Make sure there is no
dirt between the flanges and the blade as this may cause misalignment and warping. Note: New
blades may need to be dressed prior to cutting.
