  • Page 12 Adjustment of the Rollerhead to Arm (cont’d) Retighten the locking set screw securely to a required torque of 90-100 inch/lbs., after adjusting each eccen- tric. Replace the end cap If any of the top rollers do not revolve when in contact with the top track it will be necessary to remove the entire carriage to closely check each roller bearing.
  • Page 13 To Square Saw Blade with the Table Top 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. If the blade is not square to the tabletop: Release the bevel clamp handle (A) and bevel latch (B).
  • Page 14 To Adjust for “Heel” (Saw Blade Not Parallel to Arm) (cont’d) Second - Adjust at the 0 Bevel Position Put the motor into 0 bevel position. Engage bevel latch (A, Fig. 7) and bevel clamp (B). Cross cut a piece of material and determine the side of the cut on which the teeth are heeling.
  • Page 15 Bevel Stop Rod The bevel stop rod (A) is a device mounted on the roller- head to prevent the blade from contacting the base when the bevel cuts are being made; particularly with 20” blades. A socket head cap screw (B) locks the rod into position. BEFORE MAKING BEVEL CUTS ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THE BEVEL STOP ROD IS POSITIONED SO THE BLADE CLEARS THE BASE WITH THE MOTOR IN ITS REAR POSITION.
