ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN TRUNNION AND BEVEL BRACKET
After a long period of time, it may become necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the trunnion and the bevel bracket by tightening the adjusting nut (C), Fig. 27, located underneath the bevel lock (A), Fig. 27, and collar
(B) Fig. 27.
Correct adjustment provides for a good snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the tilting movement of the trunnion when bevel cutting, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING
The tension of the cuttinghead return spring has been adjusted at the factory in order that the cuttinghead returns to the up position after a cut has been made. To re- adjust the spring tension, turn adjusting screw (A) Fig. 28, clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN CUTTINGHEAD ARM AND TRUNNION
After a long period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 28, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, tighten nut (D). Correct adjustment is a good snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
1. 
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
2.The downward travel of the saw blade can be limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is made by loosening locknut (A) Fig. 29, and turning adjusting screw (B) in or out until other end of screw (B) contacts stop (C) at the full downward travel of the saw blade.
3.Lower the blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade by hand to make certain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces and adjust if necessary. After adjustment is completed, tighten locknut (A) Fig. 29.
ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
After an extended period of use the movable lower blade guard (A) Fig. 30, may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered. This can be corrected by adjusting nut (B) until the lower blade guard (A) moves freely.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE NUT AS THIS COULD MAKE THE GUARD HARD TO MOVE.
