0° Tilt Limit Stop
To check the position of the 0° limit stop, install
a 10 inch saw blade on the arbor (see page 29).
Raise the blade to its full elevation, and turn the
tilt handwheel clockwise until the limit stop is
reached. Using a square, check to see that the
blade is at a 90° angle to the table (see Fig. 113).
If you need to adjust the position of the 0° limit
stop follow the instructions below.
The 0° tilt limit stop is set by the yellow painted
bolt located on the front trunnion (see Fig. 114)
and can be accessed through the side panel.
You will need a 17 mm wrench to turn the bolt
and a 14 mm wrench to turn the locking nut.
If the blade cannot reach a 90° angle with the
table at a minimum tilt angle, adjust the position
of the 0° tilt limit bolt by fi rst loosening the locking
nut and backing it off several turns. Then turn the
0° tilt limit bolt counter-clockwise several turns.
Next, adjust the tilt angle until the blade is at
90° to the table. If the blade still cannot reach
a 90° angle with the table, keep turning the nut
and bolt counter-clockwise until it can. Once the
blade is in the correct position, turn the 0° limit
bolt clockwise until it is tight. Finally, turn the
locking nut clockwise until it is tight. The 0° tilt
limit stop has now been set.
If the blade moves past a 90° angle with the table
at a minimum tilt angle, fi rst position the blade
so that it forms a 90° angle with the table. Then
loosen the locking nut and back it off several
turns. Next, turn the 0° limit bolt clockwise until
it is tight. Finally, turn the locking nut clockwise
until it is tight. The 0° tilt limit stop has now been
set.
