Adjusting Automatic Shut-Off

The saw should stop after the cut has been completed:

If the saw completes the cut and continues to run, adjust the stop tip (A, Fig. 17) down.

If the saw shuts off before the cut is complete, adjust the stop tip (A, Fig. 17) up.

If the saw stops cutting but continues to run, adjust the stop bolt (B, fig. 17) down.

The saw is properly adjusted when the saw shuts off just after the blade has finished the cut.

Adjusting the Vise

1.To open and close the vise use the handwheel (C, Fig. 17).

2.The vise can be adjusted for square and miter cuts. Loosen the hex cap bolts and adjust the vise for the cut.

3.Adjust the blade guides so they are as close as possible to the material without interfering.

4.There is a scale on the back side of the bed to aid in setting up the vise for 90° cuts or a particular miter. Hint: Always check the vise setup with a combination square, against the blade and vise, so that you can verify the vise setting is correct.

Lubrication

Ball bearings on the blade guide assemblies and the blade wheels are permanently sealed and require no lubrication.

Lubricate the vise lead screw as needed with #2 tube grease.

Gear box oil will have to be changed after 90 days of operation. There after, change every six months.

To change the gear box oil:

1.Disconnect machine from the power source.

2.Place saw arm in the horizontal position.

3.Remove screws (A, Fig. 18) from the gear box and remove cover plate and gasket.

4.Hold a container under the lower right corner of the gear box with one hand while slowly raising the saw arm with the other. Drain completely.

5.Place arm in the horizontal position. Wipe out remaining oil with a rag.

6.Fill gear box with approximately 1/2 pint of MOBIL SHC 634.

7.Replace gasket and cover. Fasten cover with bolts.
