5.Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight- en all the bolts before use. If the blade guard is properly aligned, please skip ahead to step 10; otherwise, continue with the next step.

6.If the splitter is positioned to the left of the blade, alignment cannot be achieved by washer placement. Adjustment of the front support bracket is required as shown in Figure 16. Loosen the (2) adjustment screws and move left or right.

7.If this adjustment does not allow enough movement of the splitter, remove the table and wings, and set them to one side.

The table and wings represent a very heavy load. DO NOT over- exert yourself while lift- ing or moving the table and wings – get assis- tance.

8.The arbor bracket and motor pulley needs adjusting. Loosen the cap screw and the setscrew as shown in Figure 17, and slowly slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft. Only move the arbor bracket a dis- tance equal to the amount of misalignment between the blade and splitter, or a little more. You can always adjust the splitter back to the left with washers. Tighten the cap screw and setscrew securely.

9.Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen the setscrew and slowly slide the pulley toward the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are back into alignment, tighten the setscrew securely.

10.Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight- en down all the bolts before use. If the blade guard is properly aligned, re-attach the table, making sure there is adequate blade clear- ance through all blade adjustments.

11.Adjust the blade to 45¡ and raise and lower it through the full range. Re-adjust the blade to 90¡ and raise and lower it through the full range. There should be no contact between the base and the table insert or any other part of the saw. If there is, repeat Steps 7-9.
