CURSOR ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 28.
• Raise the saw blade above the table.
• Position the fence several inches to the right of the saw
blade.
• Lock the fence down and measure the exact distance
between the saw blade and the inside of the fence.
• Loosen the screws on the lens and slide it left or right
until the cursor (red line) equals the measurement obtained
in the previous step.
• Retighten the screws and make a test cut. Measure the
cut piece to verify that the cursor is correctly set.
NOTE: This adjustment should be checked whenever a new
blade is installed.

MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 29.
• Miter gauge can be manually adjusted up to 30° right and
left.
• Face of the miter gauge has two holes for the purpose of
attaching an auxiliary fence.
• Miter gauge is accurately constructed for precision work
and is guided through the T-slot in the table surface.
• To operate the miter gauge, simply loosen locking knob and
move the miter gauge body to the desired angle.
• If the cutting angle set on the miter gauge appears to be
inaccurate, loosen the screw as shown in FIG. 29 and lay a
straight edge in contact with the slot bar.
• When the slot bar and the
tighten the screw.
• Loosen the screw in the middle of the red pointer to set the
degree reading.

WARNING: Do not attempt under any circumstances, to
service, repair, dismantle, or disassemble any mechanical
or electrical components without physically disconnecting all
power sources.
CLEANING
• Clean off any preservative on bright (machined ) parts with
appropriate solvent (mineral spirits). Avoid getting cleaning
fluid on any rubber parts as they tend to deteriorate
rubber.
• Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
• After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light
application of medium consistency machine oil. This lubri-
cation should be repeated at least once every six months.
NOTE: Instead of oil, a good quality paste wax can be ap-
plied to rip fence and table surface. Paste wax will enhance
movement of workpieces. In addition to providing lubrication,
paste wax will help prevent rusting.
• Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on saw or inside cabinet.
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may
accumulate within cabinet.
• Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and
are frequently vacuumed or blown free of any dirt.
• Keep gears of the then Blade Elevation Mechanism free of
any sawdust and debris. See Figure 30.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These
bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory.
• As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears
of height and tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and gears
with a medium viscosity machine oil.
• Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
• Occasionally oil all other bearing points, including blade
guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
SERVICE
• Replace worn parts as needed. If power cords are worn,
cut, or damaged in any way, have them replaced
immediately.
• Make sure teeth of anti-kickback pawls are always sharp.
• Sharpen dull teeth using a few light strokes of a smooth
cut flat file.
