Castor system adjustment

Retractable castors can be extended permitting the saw to be moved:

1.Loosen the lock knob (A) on the side handwheel (C).

2.Pull the handwheel out (F).

3.Turn the handwheel (C) clockwise to extend the castors, raising the saw.

Note: Because of the weight of the machine, both hands will be needed to turn the handwheel. Raise the saw just enough to permit moving to another location.

When the saw has been repositioned:

4.Retract the castors by turning the handwheel (C) counterclockwise.

5.Push the handwheel in (F) and tighten the lock knob (A).

Zero-Clearance Insert Setup

Under normal operations where the standard table insert (which is provided) is used, the top edge of the saw blade will come to rest approximately 1/8" below the table surface when the blade height is positioned all the way down.

In situations where a zero-clearance insert is desired, the saw blade may be lowered further for accommodation of inserts that have potential clearance issues with the blade. This is done as follows:

1.Remove the guard and pawl (Figure 9, Items C, E).

2.Open the side cover and locate the blade depth stop (A, Fig. 12) located between the arbor pulley and motor.

3.Using a 6mm hex wrench, loosen the locking screw (B, Fig. 12).

4.This will allow the depth stop to swing free and the saw blade to be adjusted lower.

5.With the height adjust handwheel (B, Fig. 11), lower the saw blade all the way.

The zero-clearance insert can now be placed into the table opening without contacting the saw blade.

Never use a zero-clearance insert with the saw blade in a tilted position. Never operate the saw without the blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback pawls for operations where they can be used.

Figure 12

When the standard insert is to be used again, the saw blade must be readjusted as follows:

6.With the height adjust handwheel (B, Fig. 11), adjust height of the saw until the top of the saw blade is 1/8" below the top of the table.

7.The blade depth stop (A, Fig. 12) should be resting against the trunnion (C, Fig. 12). Verify that this is the case; then tighten the locking screw (B, Fig. 12).

8.Replace the standard insert, pawl and blade guard.
