ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN MOVABLE TABLE AND BASE

When it becomes necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the movable table and the base proceed as follows: Turn nut (A) Fig. 34, clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the sliding fit. This adjustment should not be too tight that it restricts the rotating movement of the table or too loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw.

ADJUSTING FENCE

90 DEGREES TO BLADE

IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING THIS ADJUSTMENT, MAKE CERTAIN THE BLADE IS SET AT 90 DEGREES TO THE TABLE. SEE SECTION “ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS.”

1.DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.Rotate the table so that the blade is 90 degrees to the fence and the spring-loaded positive stop for the 0 degree mark on the scale is engaged.

3.Using a square (A) Fig. 35, place one end of the square against the fence (B) and the other end against the blade as shown. Check to see if the fence is 90 degrees to the blade.

4.If an adjustment is necessary, the fence (B) can be adjusted by loosening the two screws, one of which is shown at (C) Fig. 35, that attach the fence to the base, using wrench (D) supplied. Adjust the fence (B) as required and tighten two screws (C).

5.After you are sure the fence is 90 degrees to the blade, adjust the two cursors, one of which is shown at

(E) Fig. 36, so the pointer is aligned with the 0 degree mark on the scale by loosening screw (F), adjusting cursor (E) and tightening screw (F).

TABLE HAZARD AREA

WARNING: THE AREA INSIDE THE RED LINE (A) FIG. 37, ON THE TABLE IS DESIGNATED AS A HAZARD ZONE. NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS INSIDE THIS AREA WHILE THE TOOL IS BEING OPERATED.
