CARRIAGE- Slides along track under arm and supports yoke. Contained in two carriage covers, one on each side of the arm. See Figure 9C.

CARRIAGE LOCK KNOB - Controls whether the carriage is locked or can travel. Located on the left side of the arm on the carriage cover. See Figure 9C.

COLUMN - Upright housing at the back of the saw, consisting of a column support and a column tube. The column tube can be raised or lowered with the elevating handwheel at the front of the saw. See Figures 9A and 9B.

CONTROL CUT DEVICE - Limits carriage speed to prevent climb, using a cable from the carriage to the column. Has a separate motor on left side, which is activated by the switch trigger in the handle. The cable returns the carriage to the column when the motor is not activated. Speed is adjusted with a thumbwheel on the handle. It runs on a separate 120V AC single voltage circuit. See Figure 9C.

WARNING: When connecting only one of the cords, squeeze the switch trigger in the handle. If the main motor cord alone is connected, the switch trigger in the handle will not operate the control cut device. The carriage cannot be advanced without power to the control cut device.

DUAL VOLTAGE - If needed, your main power source may be rewired by a qualified electrician to provide a 240V AC circuit. See the Electrica! section.

DUST GUIDE - Directs sawdust, created from the cut being made, in the direction you set. Located at the rear of the upper blade guard. See F(gure 9D. ELEVATING HANDWHEEL - The handwheel below the worktable (in front) that changes the height of the arm and the blade. See Figure 9C.

FENCE - Removable guide for work, which extends across width of table. See Figure 9C.

FRONT TABLE - Fixed portion of the worktable that supports the work. See Figure 9C.

HANDLE - Used to pull the yoke assembly. Mounted on the yoke to the right of the blade. See Figure 9C.

HOLD DOWN - A metal guard to control workpiece climb during rip cuts. When blade parallels arm, hold down is over the back of the blade. See Figure 9D.

HOLD DOWN KNOB - Controls placement of the hold down and locks it in place. See Figure 9D.

MITER SCALE - Shows the miter angle setting of the arm. See Figure 9B.
