Delta 33-890, 33-892, 33-895X, 33-891 Adjusting the Overarm Column, Adjusting the Yoke Clamp Handle

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Before connecting the radial arm saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the guard and splitter for proper operation alignment and clearance with saw blade. Personal injury may result.

If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise, or if it vibrates excessively, cease operating immediately until the source has been located and the problem corrected.

The proper throat plate must be in place at all times to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible injury.

ADJUSTING THE OVERARM COLUMN

After extended use, the overarm might develop side motion. To correct:

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

1.	Loosen the hex nuts (A) Fig. 34 and the gib-adjusting
				B
	screws (B) and (C).
2.	Adjust the column base by loosening the hex nuts (D)		A					C
	Fig. 34. Tighten or loosen the bolts (E) until the column	D				E
	base wraps around the column securely and the column		A					C
	can be raised or lowered without binding. Tighten
	locknuts (D).	D			E
3.	After adjustment, tighten the screws (C) Fig. 34 against
	the column gib until all side motion disappears in the
	overarm.
4.	Tighten the hex nuts (A) and screw (B) Fig. 34.						Fig. 34

ADJUSTING THE YOKE CLAMP HANDLE

The yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 35 allows the yoke (B) to rotate to the rip or cross-cut positions. To reposition the cuttinghead, push the yoke handle (A) to the rear. Turn the yoke (B) to desired position. To lock the yoke in position, pull the yoke clamp handle toward you.

To adjust the yoke clamp handle if it does not lock the yoke completely, or does not lock in a convenient position:

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

1.Remove the blade guard assembly (C) Fig. 35, and the saw blade.

2.Remove the rear end plate from the track arm and remove the cuttinghead assembly (D) Fig. 35 from the track arm.

3.Loosen the yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 35, and remove the cotter pin (E).

4.Turn the hex nut (F) Fig. 36, clockwise 60° and replace the cotter pin (E).

5.Reinstall the cuttinghead on the track arm and replace the items removed in STEPS 2 and 3.
