Advertisement

INSTALLATION:
Three
I I/32
inch diameter
holes
are provided
in the
base
through
which
your
bench
saw
should
be
se-
curely
fastened
with
screws
or bolts
to a well
con-
structed
work
table
or bench.
The
saw
is designed
so
that
you
can
mount
the
motor
below
the saw out of the way,
the belt
travel-
ing
through
a hole
cut in the
bench.
A large
hole
in the
bench
below
the
blade
will allow
sawdust
to
drop
through.
A simple
deflection
panel
may
be in-
stalled
to keep
sawdust
off the motor.
Note:
If you prefer
to install
the motor
behind
the
saw on the bench,
it will be necessary
to block
up the
saw approximately
2 I_ inches
above
the level
of the
motor
base
to provide
clearance
for
the belt
at the
rear
edge
of
the
table
when
the
recommended
motor
and
pulleys
are used.
MOTOR:
For general
use a I/_ horsepower
1750 R.P.M.
motor
will drive the saw with sufficient
power.
SPEED:
A 5 inch diameter
pulley on the 1750 R.P.M.
motor
will drive the saw at the recommended
speed--4500
R.P.M.
Caution:
If a 3450 R.P.M. motor is used it should
be equipped
with a pulley not larger than 2 I_ inches
in diameter.
BELT:
The pulley
on your bench
saw is intended
for use with
a I_
inch
wide
standard
V-belt.
When
the
motor
and
saw
position
is established,
measure
with
a flex-
ible tape
around
the outside
of the pulleys,
not in the
V-groove,
to determine
the length
of belt needed.
CONTROLS:
The
Table
Crank
when
turned
raises
or lowers
the
table
in relation
to the saw blade
to regulate
the depth
of cut.
The
Table
Clamp
Screw
when
tight locks
the table
at the selected
elevation.
This
screw
must
be
loose
when
making
a change
in table
height.
The
Table
Lock
Handle
is a wrench
used
to lock
the table
in place
at any
angle
from
0 ° to 45%
To
tilt
the
table
engage
the
hex
socket
of the
wrench
on the head
of the
table
lock
nut
33422
and
turn
it
counter-clockwise
slowly
until
the table
will
tilt with
slight
hand
pressure
on the right
hand
edge.
After
the table
is locked
in position,
the handle
may be dis-
engaged
from
the
lock
nut
and
will hang
in neutral
position.
The
angle
of tilt is shown
by
the pointer
on the
calibrated
protractor
scale
just
behind
the handle.
For
your convenience
the table
leveling
screw
and
45 ° stop
screw
have
been
incorporated
to automati-
cally
stop
the table
at 90 ° and
45 ° to the blade.
Caution:
Always
raise
the table
at least
¼
inch
from
the
lowest
setting
before
tilting
to 45 ° .
The
extra
long
spindle
(for
greater
dado
set capacity)
will hit the table
insert
from
below
if the table
is not
raised
before
tilting.
The
Rip
Fence
Clamp
Knob
when
tight
clamps
the front
of the fence
to the fence
bar and
holds
the
fence
parallel
to the saw blade.
The
Rip
Fence
Lock
Knob
when
tight
,locks
the
r_ar of the
fence
in place
by gripping
the rear fence
baT.
When
changing
the
position
of the
fence,
loosen
both
the lock
knob
and
the
clamp
knob--slide
the
fence
to the new
position--tighten
first
the
clamp
knob, and then the lock knob.
The Miter
Protractor
Lock Knob locks the Pro-
tractor
at any
position
from
30 ° to 90 ° in either
di-
rection.
The
angle
is shown
by the
pointer
on the
calibrated
scale
of the protractor.
ADJUSTMENTS:
Every
adjustment
of your
bench
saw
was carefully
checked
and
tested
before
the tool
left the
factory.
However,
due
to the
exposure
of the tool
to rough
handling
during
shipment
it might
be wise
to check
the following
points
before
operation
to insure
accur-
ate
results.
1.
The Blade
Must
Be Parallel
With
the Miter
Slots.
Check
as shown
in figure
2.
Measure
from
the
same
side
of the same
tooth
each
time.

Adjustment
may be made by loosening
the two
cap screws X205
which hold the table to the tilt
protractor
until the table will shift slightly when
tapped
with a mallet
or block
of wood.
When
the blade
and slots are parallel,
tighten the two
cap screws securely.
The Fence Must
Lock Parallel With The Miter
Slots.
Check by sliding the fence to the edge of
the nearest slot.
Tighten the clamp knob against
the front bar.
(Do not tighten the lock knob),
The fence should
remain perfectly
parallel
with
the slot.
To adjust
loosen the two screws just forward of
the lock knob.
See figure
2.
With the clamp
knob still tight, pivot the fence until it is parallel
with the miter slot along its full length.
Retighten
the two screws.
