ADJUSTING TABLE TOP PARALLEL TO TRACK-ARM For accurate work the track-arm must be parallel to the table top at all points. To check and adjust: 1. Move the motor and cutter head assembly to the vertical position. Position saw arbor (A), so that it is approximately in the center of the front table board.
Page 9
BLADE GUARD AND ANTIKICKBACK DEVICE 1. Remove the outer blade guard. 2. Remove arbor nut and outer blade flange. 3. Install blade on the saw arbor with teeth of blade pointing downward when viewed from front of saw, and thread the arbor nut onto the arbor. 4.
Page 10
CUTTER HEAD RETURN SPRING 1. Return the cutter head assembly to rear track arm. 2. Attach eyelet (H) of cable assembly (C) to cutter head screw (E). 3. NOTE: To prevent premature wear of return reel cable, position the return reel so that the cable does not rub against the wall of the return reel.

ADJUSTING BALL BEARINGS AGAINST TRACK RAILS WARNING DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE After extended use “play” may develop between yoke and bearing carriage. To reduce “play”: 1. Locked yoke in place. 2. Remove end plate (D) from track arm. 3. Loosen screws (A,B) and adjust screw (C) until bearing tough track rails, tighten the screws (A,B). 4.
Page 13
6. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen index lock handle (D). 7. Loosen the nuts (F) and adjust the cutter head screws (E), until blade (C) travels parallel to square (A). The tighten index lock handle (D). 8. Slide cutting-head the entire length of track arm check blade (C) travels parallel to the square (A) again.
Page 14
5. Place a square (C) on the table and against the saw blade, as shown, and check to see if the blade is square with the table. NOTE: The square shown rest between two teeth of the saw blade. 6. If an adjustment is necessary, make certain bevel clamp hand (B) is tight. Loosen nuts (D), adjust screws (E) until the blade square to table.

FENCE POSITION 1. A position for 3” capacity 2. B position for 1” capacity 3. C position for in ripping 4. D position for out ripping POSITIVE STOP BEVEL INDEX Bevel index knob (A), provides a positive stop when positioning the saw blade at zero, 45∘, and 90∘left, on the bevel scale (C).
Page 17
tighten bevel clamp handle (B). For saw blade angle between positive stop, set blade at desired angle on bevel scale (C) and tighten bevel clamp handle (B). DANGER WHEN YOU USE 45∘OR 90∘BEVEL CUT, YOU NEED TO ADJUST STOP PIN IN 45∘(A)OR 90∘(B) GROOVES POSITION AS SHOW; OTHERWISE IT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJUERY.
Page 18
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS During ripping operations, the splitter (A), must ride in the saw kerf and anti-kickback fingers (B) should be touching the workpiece to prevent kickback. 1. Set the saw up in the ripping position with the blade guard lowered on the in-feed side to act as a hold down.
Page 19
MACHINE USE MITER CUTTING Miter cutting is similar to cross-cutting except the workpiece is cut off at an angle (up to 45∘right or left) rather than being cut off square. The settings and operation are performed in the same manner as crosscutting except that the track arm is first positioned to the desired angle on the miter scale before it is clamped in place.
Page 20
!WARNING THE MATERIAL MUST NEVER BE FEED INTO THE OUTFEED END OF THE BLADE GUARD. OUT-RIPPING Out-ripping involves all of the general conditions stated above. The yoke is clamped at right angle to the track arm with the blade guard facing the front of the machine. The cutting-head is positioned on the out-rip scale to the desired setting and clamped in position.
