90 DEGREES TO BLADE

If the fence (A) Fig. 22, is ever removed from the saw it should be adjusted so it is 90 degrees to the blade when it is replaced, as follows:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.This adjustment should be made only after the blade has been adjusted parallel to table opening, as previ- ously explained.

3.Using a square (B) Fig. 22, place one end of the square against the fence (A) and the other end against the slot in the table as shown.

4.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four screws (C) Fig. 23, and adjust fence 90 degrees to the table opening. Then tighten the four screws (C).

ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.The downward travel of the saw blade should be limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is made by loosening locknut (A) Fig. 24, and turning adjusting screw (B) in or out.

3.When making this adjustment, MAKE SURE THE

MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE and lower the blade as far as pos- sible. Rotate the blade by hand to make certain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces and adjust if necessary.

4.After the downward travel of the saw blade has been adjusted, tighten locknut (A)
