Assembling Your Saw

Installing the Elevation Handwheel

2.
Open one of the handwheel packages included with your saw and screw the handle into the handwheel (see
Fig. 7). Tighten the handle with a 14 mm wrench. The hardware required to install the elevation handwheel is
located in the area with the blue background on the Table Saw Hardware Pack. Remove a key from the Table
Saw Hardware Pack and insert it into the slot at the end of the elevation control shaft (see Fig. 8). Slide the
handwheel onto the end of the elevation control shaft (see Fig. 9) until the face of the handwheel is fl ush with
the end of the shaft. Remove a set screw from the Table Saw Hardware Pack and insert it into the small hole
located on the side of the handwheel (see Fig. 10). Use a 3 mm hex key to fully tighten the set screw. Locate
the lock knob with the longer shaft. Screw the lock knob into the end of the elevation control shaft (see Fig. 11),
but don't tighten it completely. The lock knob is used to prevent the handwheel from turning after the blade has
been set to a new elevation.

my sawstop saw tilts to 20 deg and thin it's like the gear is stripped it justs bounces

If the SawStop PCS175 saw tilts to 20 degrees and bounces as if the gear is stripped, it may be due to a problem with the tilt mechanism components such as the tilt handwheel, sector gear, worm gear, or threaded rod. These parts are involved in adjusting and holding the blade at the desired tilt angle. If they are worn, damaged, or not properly lubricated, the tilt movement may not be smooth, causing bouncing or slipping. Checking for damage and ensuring proper lubrication of the tilt mechanism is recommended.
