ADJUSTING
TILT GAGE _USing
saw blade at
an accurate
square,
set
right angles
to table top.
Then
adjust
the pointer
on the tilt gage
(C, fig. 3)
to "0".
ADJUSTING
MITER
GAGE
SCALE
--Using
an accurate
square,
block
the
miter
gage at the square position.
Make
a trial cut on a fairly
wide
board,
then
• check
this cut with
the square.
If cut
is accurate,
set the pointer
on the miter
gage
scale
(J, fig. 3) to "90".

FENCE INDICATORS

With the rip fence o,1 the right side
of the blade set the left indicator

1) to number 2 on the
fence slide gear rack ( Key No. 108, fig.
I).
When the fence is moved one inch
to' the right of the blade the left
indicator will read t" etc. When
the rip fence is to the left of the
blade the procedure
is the same
except that the right indicator is
used.
In other words, always use
the indicator nearest to the blade.
ADJUSTING
CAM
CLAMP
LEVER--if
clamping
action of
lever (H, fig. 2) is too tight
or
too loose, it can be adjusted by in-
_ _
_
,
creasing or decreasing the effec-
tive length of the rip fence clamp rod (Key No. 78, fig.
1).
This is done by readjusting
the clamp rod nut (Key
No. 63, fig. 1) on the end of the clamp rod in back of the
fence.
When
properly
adjusted,
the clamping
lever
should lock in a horizontal
position or slightly lower.
Your saw is a fine machine and should be given the best
of care.
If kept clean and properly lubricated, it will
gixe many }'ears of trouble-free
service.
Both tilt and lift screws are self-cleaning
which prevents
clogging
or gumming of the threads, as tile sharp thread
ends wipe and clean the gear teeth.
The saw arbor bearings
(Key No. 4, fig. J) base been
packed at the factory with the proper
lubricant and re-
quire
no additional
lubrication.
Other
parts
requiring
lubrication
should
be oiled frequently
with SAE No. 20
or rio.

Detcription
Tilt screw block, tilt screw threads & tilt nut.
Pivot pin and saw arbor housing
guide.
Clamp screw.
All other points Where there is friction between two
or more moving
surfaces--or
where a sllp fit is
necessary for adjustment
purposes.
Special attention
should be given to the moving parts
in the rip fence and miter gage.
To prevent the saw table from rusting, it should be
kept covered with a film of our "'Stop Rust" when
not in use-
and should be wiped off with a cloth
before using.
Treat other unplated and unpainted
parts and surfaces in same manner.
DRESS PROPERLY--Do
not wear a
tie or other loose article•
Keep long
sleeves
down with cuffs
fastened;
or
wear short sleeves.
Use goggles
or a
face shield to protect the eyes.
NEVER STOP BEING CAREFUL
One moment of inattention
can cost you
a painful
injury.
Always
be alert!
Operation
of saw is simple,
safe rind
easy--when
properly
done.
A LOW BLADE IS TIlE
SAFEST --
Equally
gond cuts ran be made with
the blade elevated
to full height,
or
raised just enough to clear top of work-
[_iece by approximately
1/4 inch.
The
tower position is safer because the blade

\
enters the work at an angle more nearly
parallel with the direction of feed, and
there is better opportunity
to hold the
work against
kickback.
AVOID
AWKWARD
HAND
POSI-
TIONS -- Do not get hands into a po-
sition in which a sudden slip can cause
them to move into the saw blade. Pull
work through from behind blade rather
than push it through with hand in close
quarters; or use a push stick as illus-
trated.
Do not attempt freehand cross-
cutting; always use miter gage.
NEVER
TWIST
WORK--Twisting
work will bind blade and cause a kick-
back.
