To adjust the carriage bearings" perform the
following steps:
1. Clean and lubricate the bearing races and

wrench to hold the bolt head while using a
1/2 inch wrench to loosen the hex nut.

3. Rotate the eccentric bolts a partial turn
(left or right) as required to take up loose-
ness. Both bolts should be adjusted an equal
amount to maintain blade squareness to the
table in the rip positions.
4. Hold the head of the eccentric bolts in their
new position and retighten the nuts. Do not
overtighten. Overtightening the bearings will
cause difficult operation and severly reduce
the life of the track and bearings'.

above and readjust if necessary.

bands which lock the arm to the column tube

the arm can be easily moved by hand when
locked in an unindexed position the following
adjustment must be made.
1. Move the arm to an unindexed position and
leave the miter lock in the unlocked position.
