3.The compound slide saw is equipped with spring-loaded positive stops at the 90 degree straight cut-off position and at the 15, 22.5, 31.62 and 45 degrees right and left miter positions. These spring- loaded positive stops can be felt as you are rotating the table. NOTE: The 31.62 degree right and left miter positive stops are used when cutting crown moulding as explained later in this manual. Two large scales, one of which is shown at (C) Fig. 31, are provided on each end of the table and two cursors, one of which is shown at (D) Fig. 32, are provided for intermediate angles.

ADJUSTING CLAMPING ACTION OF

TABLE LOCKING MECHANISM

Fig. 33

When rotating the table, the table locking lever (A) Fig. 33, must be compressed. When the locking lever (A) is not compressed, the table should be in the locked position. When the clamping action of the table locking mechanism needs adjusting, proceed as follows:

1.Move the table to the 22.5 degree left miter angle.

2.Loosen locknut (B) Fig. 33, using the open end wrench supplied, and turn screw with allen wrench

(C) supplied. Turn screw clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease clamping action of locking lever (A). IMPORTANT: After adjustment is completed, tighten locknut (B), just enough to take all play out of the handle assembly. Tightening locknut (B) too much will defeat the purpose of the adjustment.
