ADJUSTING SAW TRAVEL SQUARE WITH FENCE

The 12” Radial Arm Saw is equipped with 90° and 45° positive miter stops. This feature makes it possible to produce accurate miter cuts and square cross-cuts at all times.

To do accurate work, the saw blade travel must be 90° to the fence. If saw blade travel is not 90° to the fence, this means that the track arm is not properly aligned.

To check and adjust, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM

POWER SOURCE.

2.Remove blade guard assembly and saw blade from the cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 50, and insert wrench

(B) between arbor flanges in place of blade as shown. Tighten arbor nut.

3.Place a steel square (C) Fig. 50, against fence as shown, and lower cuttinghead assembly (A) so that wrench (B) just clears the table top.

4.Pull cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 50, along square

(C). If wrench (B) does not travel parallel to the square (C), the following adjustment is necessary.

5.Remove three screws (D) Fig. 51, and remove miter scale (E).

6.Loosen three screws (F) Fig. 52, and loosen track arm clamp handle (G).

7.To move front end of track arm to the right, loosen set screw (H) Fig. 53, and tighten set screw (J). To move front end of track arm to the left, loosen set screw (J) and tighten set screw (H).

8.When the cuttinghead travels parallel to the square, tighten three screws (F) Fig. 52. Replace miter scale (E) Fig. 51, and replace and tighten three screws (D). Make certain the zero graduation mark on the scale (E) lines up with the pointer (K).

9.Replace blade and blade guard assembly.
