Adjusting Fence Squareness; Adjusting Cutting Depth - Craftsman 137.212371 Operator's Manual

ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS
(FIG. S)
1. Loosen the four fence locking
bolts (1).
2. LOWER THE CUTTING ARM AND
LOCK IN POSITION.
3. Using a square (3), lay the heel of
the square against the blade and the
ruler against the fence (2) as shown.
4. Adjust the fence 90 ° to the blade and
tighten the four fence locking bolts.
CAUTION: If the saw has not been
used recently, recheck blade
squareness to the fence and
readjust if needed.
5. After fence has been aligned, using
a scrap piece of wood, make a cut
at 90 ° then check squareness on the
piece. Readjust if necessary.

ADJUSTING CUTTING DEPTH
(FIG. T)
The maximum depth travel of the
cutting head was set at the factory.
Check to see that the blade does not
extend more than 1/4 in. below the
table insert, and does not touch the
control arm throat or any part of the
base or table. If the maximum depth
needs readjusting:
1. Loosen the stop knob (1) while
moving the cutting head down until
the blade extends just 1/4 in. below
the table insert.
2. Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the
stop plate (2).
3. Recheck the blade depth by moving
the cutting head front to back
through the full motion of a cut along
the control arm. If the blade touches
the inside of the control arm, readjust
the setting.
SETTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIG. T)
The depth of cut can be preset for even
and repetitive shallow cuts.
1. Adjust the cutting head down (See
CUTTING HEAD section) until the
teeth of the blade are at the desired
depth.
2. While holding the upper arm in that
position, turn the stop knob (1) until
it touches the stop plate (2).
3. Recheck the blade depth by moving
the cutting head front to back
through the full motion of a typical
cut along the control arm.
