SETTING THE ARM LOCK KNOB

See Figure 15.

It may be possible to move the arm when locked, if the arm lock knob is too loose. If the arm does not

move freely when unlocked, the arm lock knob may be too tight. Use this procedure to check and set the arm lock knob by turning the arm lock wheel (under the carriage arm).

•To release the arm lock knob, located on top of the arm at the front, pull the arm lock knob forward until the spring is compressed.

•While holding the arm lock knob forward, swing the arm 30° to the left or the right, referring to the miter scale on top of the column.

•Lock the arm in place by pushing the arm lock knob back until it pops in the locked position.

•Apply a reasonable amount of pressure on the arm. The arm can be forced, but if it moves easily, it needs adjustment.

•Locate the arm lock wheel.

•Release the arm lock knob and turn the lock wheel clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.

•Repeat above steps until the arm movement is minimized when locked.

ASSEMBLY

•Lock the yoke lock handle. Grasp the motor with both hands and apply reasonable pressure to see if

it slips. If it moves, reset the yoke lock handle as follows.

•Remove the arm cap screws and arm cap at the front of the arm with a phillips screwdriver. See Figure 16B.

•Remove the carriage stop screw and Iockwasher with a 1/4 in. hex key. Carefully slide the yoke assembly forward and off the carriage.

•Place the yoke assembly in a spot where it will be secure as you work on the top of the yoke.

•Release the yoke lock handle. Tighten the center nut with a 15/16 in. wrench until the lock handle is

centered between the two legs of the yoke.

•Carefully replace the yoke assembly on the car- riage arm track. Slide it back about halfway.

•Replace the carriage stop screw and Iockwasher, followed by the arm cap and arm cap screws.

•Lock and test the yoke again. If it can be moved, repeat the procedure until it is secure.

HANDLE

The yoke clamp keeps the yoke from rotating on the carriage when you want the saw blade to be station- ary. Use this procedure to check and set the yoke clamp.

•Release the yoke lock handle (below the arm on the right side) so the motor can be rotated.

•Swivel the motor slightly. It should be at an angle in between one of the preset positive stop angles.
