Epson RS830 instruction manual Removing Heeling

REMOVING “HEELING”

Even though the cuttinghead travel may be perfectly aligned at 90° to the fence, the blade itself may not be 90° or square with the fence (Fig. 28). This condition is known as “heeling.”

To check and adjust:

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

1.Install saw blade without the guard.

2.Replace the fence with a flat piece of 3/4" wood (A) Fig. 29 that is at least 5" high. Tighten the table board clamps.

3.Place three identical pieces of wood (B) Fig. 29 on the table. Lay a framing square on them so that the short arm is flush against the fence and the long arm is against the blade. Be sure that the square is between the teeth of the blade.

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

1.Attach the inner blade flange, saw blade, outer blade flange, and arbor nut on the saw arbor.

2.Place the cuttinghead in a cross-cut position (Fig. 29). Lower the track arm until the saw blade is clear of the table. Slide the cuttinghead forward until it is positioned over the front table board. Clamp the cuttinghead in position.

3.Engage the bevel index knob (A) Fig. 31. Check to see that the motor is in a horizontal position. Tighten the bevel clamp handle (C).
