ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT

BLADE ALIGNMENT IS FACTORY SET

AND SHOULD NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT. ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT IN THE FIELD IS A DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING PROCEDURE. ALL SAW BLADES HAVE SOME RUN- OUT. THEREFORE, RE-ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY. (SEE CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT.)

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert. With a 1/2″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and rear trunnion mounting bolts. NOTE: Two trunnion mounting bolts (E) Fig. 37 are shown as looking up inside side of saw.

2.Move the trunnion assembly in the desired direction. Tap gently with rubber mallet if necessary.

3.To check blade alignment, follow section “CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT” procedure until proper alignment is achieved. Tighten 4 trunnion bolts (E) Fig. 37.

4.Check blade alignment again after tightening bolts to confirm alignment. If alignment is off, loosen the 4 trunnion bolts (E) and repeat the above steps until proper alignment is achieved with bolts fully tightened.

5.Install table insert, blade guard, and lower blade before reconnecting power source.
