ALIGNING THE SPLITTER TO THE SAW
BLADE
CAUTION: The splitter assembly must be
!
aligned with the saw blade to help
prevent kickback.
1.
Lay a straight edge against the saw blade and
the splitter as shown in Figure 30.
2.
If the splitter and the saw blade do not line up,
loosen the lower screws on the splitter mounting
bracket (D) and the lower screws on the inside splitter
mounting plate (E) as shown in Figure 31.
NOTE: This adjustment is more easily performed with
the aid of a helper since the mounting plate screws
are adjusted from the underside of the saw. A socket
wrench with an extension may be necessary to loosen
the two screws.
3.
When the adjustment is finished, tighten all of
the screws.
CAUTION: Make sure the blade guard and
!
the splitter are parallel with the table
mitre slots to prevent binding.
ALIGNING THE SAW BLADE TO THE
TABLE SLOT
1.
If the blade is not aligned with the slot in the
table, loosen the screws on the trunnion brackets
(Items 17 and 54 on page 35) and bump the table as
needed with a mallet.
2.
Tighten the screws securely when finished.
MAINTENANCE
Good saw operation requires periodic preventive main-
tenance.
1.
Keep the inside of the cabinet and trunnion ar-
eas clean. A stiff brush will remove sawdust before it
cakes, and pitch or sap is easily removed with a com-
mercial solvent.
2.
After cleaning the tilting and raising worm, worm
gear segments, and the trunnions, grease these three
areas with a good grade non-hardening grease.
3.
The table surface must be kept clean and free of
rust for best results. An occasional coat of paste wax
on the table will allow the wood stock to glide smoothly
across the work surface.
