SAW
MOUNTED TO OTHER WORK SURFACES (FIG. C)
To avoid fire hazard and possible injury:
-
The choice of work surface should provide access to
the area under the saw housing. The blade regulating
rods need to be adjusted and maintained, and
sawdust accumulation prevented.
o
Attach a vacuum hose to the dust chute to facilitate
sawdust removal.
1.
If the leg set will not be used the saw must be properly
secured to a sturdy workbench using the four mounting
holes at the base of the saw.
2.
The surface of the table where the saw is to be
mounted must have a hole large enough to facilitate
sawdust fall-through and removal.
3.
Square the saw on the mounting surface and mark
the location of the four 3/8" mounting holes (1).
4.
Drill 3/8" holes into the mounting surface.
5.
Mark a 12" to 14" square (2) centered between the
four mounting holes (1).
6.
Cut out and remove the square.
7.
This opening will allow sawdust to fal! through
the saw base.
8.
Place the saw on the work surface, and align the
mounting holes of the saw with those drilled through
the surface.
g.
Fasten the saw to the work surface.

guard, cover the blade teeth with folded cardboard.
,
From a thrown workpiece, thrown blade parts, or
blade contact, never operate the saw without the
proper table insert in place. Always use the blade
insert when sawing and the dado insert when using
a dado.

2.
Lift the blade guard and position toward the rear of
the table.
3.
Raise the blade to the 90 ° vertical position by
unlocking the blade tilt lock and turning the tilting
handwheel. Lock the tilt lock.
4.
To see if the blade (1) and splitter (2) are correCtly
aligned, lay a combination square along the side of
and against the blade and splitter.
5.
Tilt the blade to the 45 ° position and check the
alignment again.
6.
If the blade and splitter are not correctly aligned,
loosen and remove the two bolts (3) and two
washers (4) from the mounting bracket.
7.
Reassemble, placing a copper washer (5) on the bolts
on the side of the splitter bracket before assembling
