2.Rotate hex bolt (B) Fig. 51 in the desired direction.
3.Push the hex bolt (B) Fig. 51 back through hole. Check to see if the head of hex bolt is seated properly in the recessed bushing (C). Attach the track arm clamping lever.
NOTE: If the track arm clamping lever (A) Fig. 49 tightens before approximately four turns, the clamping bushings (one of which is shown at (C) Fig. 51 may have rotated. These bushings should seat completely inside the track (D). If they do not, slightly loosen the clamping lever (A) Fig. 50 and rotate the clamping bushing (C) Fig. 51 until it seats. Check to see if you need to rotate the bushing on the clamp lever side also.
NOTE: The flats on the clamping bushings should face the front of the saw.
NOTE: The clamp lever (A) Fig. 50 will thread at one of two positions. If, after making the adjustment, the clamp lever (A) tightens 180° from where desired, slowly unscrew clamp lever (A) while holding in on the hex bolt (B). When the clamp lever (A) comes off of the hex bolt (B), rotate the clamp lever (A) 180°. Thread the clamp lever.
