Using the Head Assembly Lock Pin

Head Assembly Lock Pin
The head assembly lock pin (Fig. 16, 8) is lo-
cated on the left side of the pivot post (Fig. 2,
37). It is used to hold the saw's head assembly
(Fig. 14, 28) in the DOWN position. This posi-
tion prevents the head from bouncing up and
down during transportation. This also makes
the saw more compact for lifting and storage.
This position is also required for some calibrat-
ing procedures.
