ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS
Positive stops are provided to quickly and accurately position the blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
1. Raise the saw blade all the way to the top and turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go.
2.Using a square, check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table Fig. 41A. If an adjustment is necessary, turn the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise. Loosen locknut (A) Fig. 42, and tighten or loosen adjusting screw (B) until head of screw (B) contacts casting on front trunnion when the blade is at 90 degrees to the table. Then tighten locknut (A).
3.Check to see if the tilt indicator pointer points to the zero mark on the scale. Adjust if necessary.
4.Turn the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go. Using a square, check to see if the blade is at 45 degrees to the table Fig. 41B. If an adjustment is necessary, turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise until the adjusting screw (D) Fig. 43, and locknut (C) are in view, in the opening in the front of the saw cabinet, as shown. Loosen locknut (C) and tighten or loosen adjusting screw (D) until head of screw (D) contacts casting on front trunnion when the blade is at 45 degrees to the table. Then tighten locknut (C).
ADJUSTING TABLE
The saw table has been aligned at the factory so the miter gage slots are parallel to the saw blade; however, it is recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
1.Place a combination square (A) Fig. 44, on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gage slot, as shown, and adjust the square so the rule just touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position, as shown in Fig. 44. Lock the square in this position.
2.Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth you used in STEP 2 is in the rear position, as shown in Fig. 45, and check this distance. Both the front and rear measure- ments should be identical.
3.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four screws that hold the table to the saw cabinet.
4.Shift the table until a position is found which brings the saw blade in the center of the table insert slot, and parallel to the miter gage slot.
5.Tighten the four screws that were loosened in STEP 4.
6.Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and turn the saw blade by hand, and insure it does not contact the table insert.
