require
no further
lubrication
for the life of the bearing
assembly.
To maintain
the smooth, easy operation
of the con-
trols, oil the following
points occasionally:
1. The Guide,
No. 55, at the front of the arbor
support.

CONTROLS:
The Control Knob raises the saw blade
from 0 to 3
inches above
the table when pushed
in and turned.
It tilts the saw blade
0 to 45 degrees
when
pulled
out and turned.
The Angle of Tilt is shown by a Pointer on the scale
just below
the Control
Knob.
It should
indicate
0
degrees
when
the blade
is at right
angles
to the
Table Top (See ADJUSTMENTS).
CAUTION:
This saw has an extra long spindle for greater
dado
capacity.
If the blade is raised more than 2 13/16 inches the
spindle
will strike the table
when the saw blade
is
tilted.
For various
other
cuttin
devices
check s indle
clearance
at 45 degrees
tilt before operating
tool.
ADJUSTMENTS:
The following
items may require
adjustment
due to
rough handling
during shipment.
The Blade Tilt Stop Screw,
No. 94, located
just
behind
the Front Trunnion
on the left side of the
body
casting,
stops
the Tilt mechanism
when
the
blade
is at right angles
to the table.
Adjust if nec-
essary.
The Pointer
and
Scale were
set at the factory.
Should adjustment
be necessary,
follow the procedure
outlined
below:
1. Elevate blade to maximum
cut, 3 inches.
2. Check blade
with combination
square
and set
perpendicular
to the table
top.
3. Pointer
should
indicate
0 degrees.
If it does
not, adjust
pointer by loosening
the screw, No.
38, holding the pointer to the mechanism,
and
set to 0 degrees.
4. Tilt blade to 45 degrees.
Check with combina-
tion square.
Pointer should indicate 45 degrees
on scale.
5. If it does not, loosen the two screws in the scale,
one turn.
6. Move the scale up or down until both 0 degree
and 45 degree
marks are properly
positioned
under
pointer.
Re-tighten
screws in scale.
The Blade Must Be Parallel
