Installing the Tilt Handwheel

3.
Open the other handwheel package and screw the handle into the handwheel (see Fig. 13). Tighten the handle
with a 14 mm wrench. The hardware required to install the tilt 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 tilt control shaft (see Fig. 14). Slide the handwheel onto the end of the tilt control
shaft (see Fig. 15) until the face of the handwheel is fl ush with the end of the tilt control 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. 16). Use a 3 mm hex key to fully tighten the set screw. Locate the lock knob with the shorter shaft.
Screw the lock knob into the end of the tilt control shaft (see Fig. 17), 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 tilt angle.

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

1 comments:

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.
