DIGITAL READOUT DISPLAY
Digital Readout Display
The liquid crystal display (LCD) on this saw gives
the user the ability to accurately position the saw
blade and make precision adjustments to the blade
position. The four functions displayed on the saw
are:
Bevel angle - displays the bevel angle at which the
blade has been set. Zero is normally set with the
blade in the vertical.
Elevation - displays the vertical height of the blade
above the table top. Zero is normally set with the tips
of the blade teeth touching the table top.
Miler angle - displays the miter angle at which the
blade has been set. Zero is normally set with the
blade in the cross-cut position square to the rip
fence.
Rip position - displays the distance the blade is from
the rip fence when the unit is in the in-rip or out-rip
position. Zero is normally set with the blade contact-
ing the front face of the rip fence.
A digital readout display shows the present position
of the blade in decimals. If you need to convert these
numbers to fraction values, there is a conversion
chart provided on page 35 of this manual for your
reference.
The display also shows which function is being
displayed, either BEV, ELE, MIT, RIP, or O-RIP. A
minus sign will display when the numeric value is
negative (less than the "Zero" set position) in bevel,
elevation or miter.
Function Keys
The six keys located to the right of the display screen
are the function keys. They are used to select the
indicator that is to be displayed or adjusted to set the
indicator value to zero, orto turn the display "On" or
"Off".
32
Key -- Turns the display "On" or "Off".
Key -- Selects bevel angle (BEV) display
Key -- Selects elevation (ELE) display.
Key -- Sets or re-sets the selected function
to zero.
Key -- Selects miter angle (MIT) display.
Key -- Selects in-rip or out-rip
(RIP or O-RIP) display.
NOTE: In order to extend the battery life, the LC
display on this unit automatically shuts "Off" after
approximately three (3) minutes if no movement of
Bevel, Miter, Rip, or Elevation have occurred. The
display will return showing the correct readout by
pressing _ . Any rapid movement of the motor
yoke assembly when the digital readout display is
"off" can result in [ EE.EEJ when the
/
I
display is turned "on". If this occurs, it is necessary
to reset the reference positions.
Battery Compartment
The LC display and indicator system is powered by a
6 volt, size J, alkaline battery. The battery is installed
in the battery compartment located on the left side
wall of the indicator display casing. Once the battery
has been correctly installed, the electronic indicator
system will continuously monitor and store the saw
blade position information whether the display is
"On" or "Off".
