4. Repeat step 3 with the rear carriage bear-
ings.
To adjust the carriage bearings' perform
the
following
steps:
1. Clean and lubricate the bearing races and
the bead on which they ride prior to adjust-
ment.
2. To adjust the bearing, use a 9/16 inch
wrench to hold the bolt head while using a
1/2 inch wrench to loosen the hex nut.

3. Rotate
the eccentric bolts a partial
turn
(left or right) as required
to take up loose-
ness. Both bolts should be adjusted
an equal
amount
to maintain
blade squareness
to the
table in the rip positions.
4. Hold the head of the eccentric bolts in their
new position
and retighten
the nuts. Do not
overtighten.
Overtightening
the bearings will
cause difficult
operation
and severly reduce
the life of the track and bearings.
5. Repeat the test procedure
as described
above and readjust if necessary.

bands which lock the arm to the column tube
in both indexed and unindexed positions. If
the arm can be easily moved by hand when
locked in an unindexed position the following
adjustment
must be made.
1. Move the arm to an unindexed position
and leave the miter lock in the unlocked posi-
tion. (Figure 183)
