ADJUSTING THE SQUARE OF THE SAW TRAVEL TO THE FENCE

The 12” Radial Arm Saw is equipped with 90° and 45° positive miter stops. This feature makes it possible to produce accurate miter cuts and cross-cuts quickly. To make accurate cuts, the saw blade travel must be 90° to the fence. To check the travel and adjust:

1.Remove the blade guard assembly and the saw blade from the cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 48. Insert a wrench

(B)between the arbor flanges in place of blade. Tighten the arbor nut.

2.Place a square (C) Fig. 48 against the fence. Lower the cuttinghead assembly (A) so that the wrench (B) just clears the table top.

3.Pull the cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 48 along the square (C).

4.If the wrench (B) does not travel parallel to the square (C), remove three screws (D) Fig. 49, and remove miter scale
