RAISING
I-lANDLE.
Front and rear rip fence guide bars are packed in
a separate carton inside the main crate. The bar with
the teeth and graduations goes to the front, with the
graduations on top. Slip the screws through the holes
drilled in the edges of the table and tighten the nuts
firmly. Remove the rip fence from its wrapping and
slide it over the right end of the guide bars. See
that the bakelite knob of the clamp is up, to release
the clamp, while doing this, and that the screw knob
operating the rear clamp is loose so that the rear
clamp hook will slide easily under the rear guide bar.
The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw
blade, but it is more usual to place it on the right.
PLACING TABLE ON SAW
Remove the rear trunnion clamp nut, NCS-357,
together with its washer and spring, and the trunnion
clamp TCS-206, all of which are on the rear trunnion
clamp stud on the table. Unscrew the front-trunnion
clamp lever, SR-217, then lift the table and set it in
place, moving it from front to back so that the front
trunnion clamp stud slips through the slot in the front
trunnion; then let the rear trunnion down onto its
seat. Replace the rear-trunnion clamp, spring, washer
and nut. Run nut up hand tight only, or with a very
light wrench pressure, so that the table will swing
freely on the trunnions.
To replace the front clamp lever, loosen the round-
head screw and washer SP-509 and SP-1603 holding
the lever to the serrated nut. Do not unscrew the
round-head screw completely, but back it out a few
turns, then turn the lever upside down and give the
screw a smart rap on the bench; this will knock the
serrated nut out from the lever. Now remove the
screw completely, take out the serrated nut and screw
It onto the clamp stud until it is hand tight. Replace
the clamp lever over the nut in any convenient position
and re-insert screw and washer.

POWER AND SPEED
For the average run of small work encountered in
the home workshop a
~
H. P. repulsion-induction
motor will furnish ample power. Where the full 3y,\"
capacity of the saw is used, as for example, in small
cabinet-shop work, it should be equipped with a
%
H. p. motor. In commer'Cial and industrial shops it
is recommended that a
7' 4
H. P. or 1 H. P. three phase
motor be installed, especially if the machine is to be
placed in permanent position.
The saw is built to operate at a speed of 3100 r.p.m.,
which gives a cutting speed of 8100 feet per minute
with the 10" saw blade. Our No. 5500 (5" diam.) pul-
ley, when used with a 1725 r.p.m. motor will drive the
saw at the correct speed. Some factories use higher
speeds than this, but it should be borne in mind that
the higher the speed the more power is required.
The saw blade should revolve toward the front
of the machine, so if the motor turns the wrong way
it should be turned around, or, if this is impossible
owing to the location of the switch, etc., it should be
reversed in accordance with the maker's instructions.
Do not twist the V -belt. It is important that the saw
blade be kept sharp at all times, as a dull blade re-
quires from two to five times as much power as a sharp
one. It takes only a few minutes to touch up a dull
saw with a file, following the original shape of the
teeth carefully, and the result is worth while in mak-
ing easier work and in the saving of power.
CHOICE OF BLADES
The No. 1015 blade furnished with the machine is
a combination blade, suitable for either ripping or
crosscutting, and saves a great deal of time in the gen··
eral shop, where the amount of ripping and cross-cut·
ting is about equal.
