7.4 Magnetic switch and Safety Key

Refer to Figure 7-2.
Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a
power indicator lamp which is on whenever there
is power connected to the saw, not just when the
saw is running. Always check before use.
Do not assume that no light
means there is no power to the machine. If the
bulb is bad, there will be no indication. Always
check for power first. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury!
To Start – Press green start switch.
When power is connected to the machine, the green
light is always on regardless of whether the saw is
running or not.
To Stop – Press red switch to stop.
Reset – If the saw stops without pressing the stop
button, as the result of a tripped fuse or circuit
breaker:
1. Press red button to reset.
2. Press green button to restart machine.
7.4.1 Safety Key
The switch is equipped with a magnetic safety key.
When in place on the switch as shown in Figure 7-
2, the safety key trips a relay which will allow the
machine to start and stop when the respective
switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the key can
be removed to make the machine inoperable and
can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it
underneath the rail or another magnetic surface.
When using the saw, place the key on the switch
cover lining up the arrow on the key with the
REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate the key
so the arrow lines up with the LOCK arrow. This
prevents the safety key from vibrating loose when
machine is in use.

8.2 Fence Alignment

Before using the Accu-Fence
properly aligned with the blade. Consult manual no.
M-2195079B that accompanied the fence.

8.3 Blade Raising and Tilting

See Figure 8-1.
To raise or lower blade, loosen lock knob (A, Figure
8-1) and turn handwheel (B) on front of saw until
desired height is reached. Tighten lock knob (A).
The blade should be raised about 1/8" above top
surface of material being cut.
To tilt blade, loosen lock knob (C) and turn
handwheel (D) until desired angle is obtained, as
shown on tilt scale or DRO. Retighten lock knob (C).
The DRO, or digital readout (E) displays the angle
for quick positioning. See sect. 8.10 for calibration
of the DRO.
Reference pointers (F) can be positioned at any
point along scale; loosen knob and slide pointer to
position, then tighten knob. These provide a quick
reference point for aligning the angle indicator.
