ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF"
AND
REMOVE
PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
MITER GAUGE
NOTE:
The
graduations
on
the
miter
gauge
provide
accuracy
for
average
woodworking.
In some cases where
extreme
accuracy
is required,
when making
angle cuts, for
example,
make
a trial
cut and
then
recheck
it with
an
accurate square or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled
slightly
to compensate
for any inaccuracy.
The
HEAD
should
be SQUARE
(90 ° ) with
the bar when
the pointer
points
to "0".
To check for squareness,
place an accurate
square on the
miter gauge. If the head is NOT SQUARE
with the bar:
1.
Loosen the lock knob.

2.
Position

square
with
the bar . . . tighten
the
lock knob.
3.
Loosen
the screw
and adjust
the pointer,
so it points
to
zero.
The
swiveling
movement
of the head can be adjusted
by
tightening
or loosening
the set screw located
in side of the
head using the 1/8 in. setscrew wrench.
HEELING
ADJUSTMENT
or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE
TO MITER GAUGE
GROOVE
While
cutting,
the
material
must move
in a straight
line
PARALLEL
to
the
SAWBLADE
. . . therefore
both
the
miter
gauge
GROOVE
and
the
RIP
FENCE
must
be
PARALLEL
to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawblade
IS NOT
parallel
to the miter gauge groove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known
as
"HEELING").
To check for parallelism:
WARNING
-
FOR YOUR
OWN SAFETY,
TURN
SWITCH
"OFF"
AND
REMOVE
PLUG
FROM
POWER
SOURCE
OUTLET.
1.
Raise blade all the way up...
raise blade guard.
2.
Mark
an "X"
on one of the teeth which
is SET
(bent)
to the LEFT.
3.
Place
the
head
of
a
combination
square
in
the
GROOVE
. . . adjust
blade
of square so that
it just
touches the tip of the MARKED
tooth.
4.
Move square to REAR,
rotate blade to see if MARKED
tooth
again touches blade of square.
5.
If tooth
touches
square the same amount
at FRONT
and
REAR
. . . sawblade
is PARALLEL
to MITER
GAUGE
GROOVE.
If tooth
does not touch
front
and rear ...
the mecha'nism
underneath
must
be
adjusted
to
make
the
blade
PARALLEL
to GROOVE.
1.
Loosen
the 4 screws
(about
1/4 to I/2 turn)
using 3/16
in. setscrew
wrench
furnished
with
saw. Also loosen the
2 pan
head
10-32
screws
(about
1/4
to
1/2
turn)
located
at rear of the table top as shown.
This will allow
the mechanism
below
the table
to be shifted
sideways.
2.
Fold
a piece of cardboard
or heavy paper over the blade
to protect your hands.
3.
Grasp the blade and move it to the right or left a small
amount
and tighten one of the screws.
4.
Check with
square
to determine
if MARKED
TOOTH
touches square the same amount
at front and rear.
If it does,
tighten
other
three
screws. If it does not,
loosen screw and move blade the required amount.
5.
Alternately
tighten
the screws slowly.
NOTE:
Use the setscrew wrench
as shown
. . . do not
use a pair of
pliers or any other
tool
to
gain more
leverage on the setscrew wrench.
