PARALLELING BLADE TO TABLE

See Figures 32A - 32C.

This procedure squares the blade to the table at 90° bevel so horizontal cuts will be accurate. This also

reduces kickback, as well as splintering and burning of the cut edges of the workpiece. If the blade is not at 90 ° bevel, follow the steps to rotate the blade unit

slightly. You will need a framing square and a flat blade screwdriver.

,_ WARNING: The blade must be perfectly parallel to the table at the 90 ° reading on the

bevel scale. If not, kickback could result, as well as splintering or burning the cut. Kickback can result in serious personal injury as the workpiece can be thrown at the operator.

•Use the arm lock knob to lock the arm in 0° miter position (straight forward).

•Turn the elevating handwheel to raise the blade at least 2 in. above the table.

•Release the bevel lock lever below the handle. Use

the bevel index knob, just under the handle, to turn the motor to 90°. The blade will be horizontal. Lock

the bevel lock lever.

•Place the framing square with the short end hang- ing down in front of the worktable and the long side on edge under the blade.

•Lower the arm with the elevating handwheel so the blade surface rests on the square. Turn the blade slightly if necessary so the face of the blade, not a tooth, lies on the square.

NOADJUSTMENT

NEEDED

•Check whether the blade is flat against the edge the entire length or whether a gap is visible. If you can see a gap, adjust the blade to be at 90 ° bevel to the table with the following steps.

•Unlock the bevel lock lever. Loosen the rear motor

mount nut, which holds the motor on the yoke. Place a flat blade screwdriver in one of the slots, and rotate the cam behind the nut to eliminate the

gap between the blade and the square.

•Retighten the nut.

•Tighten the bevel lock lever. Recheck the blade and the square for any gaps.

•Raise the blade with the elevating handwheel to

approximately halfway up. Index the blade to a vertical 0° bevel with the bevel index knob. Lock it

with the bevel lock lever.
