CUTTING ARM TRAVEL (FIG. K)

Cutting arm pivot adjustment

The pivot movement of the cutting arm (1) should not be too tight; restricting movement, nor too loose; affecting the accuracy of the saw cut. The correct locking nut (2) adjustment is snug, allowing no side-to-side arm movement. To adjust, tighten or loosen the adjusting nut

(2).

Cutting head downward travel adjustment (Fig. L)

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not connected to the power source outlet.

Before each cutting operation, check the position of the blade to make sure it does not contact any metal surface. If the blade contacts any metal surface, the depth of travel on the upper arm assembly must be adjusted.

1.Lower the blade as far as possible.

2.Loosen the locknut (3).

3.Turn the adjustment bolt (4) out (counterclockwise) to decrease the cutting depth or in (clockwise) to increase the cutting depth.

4.Rotate the blade manually to check for contact.

5.Repeat until adjusted properly, and tighten the locknut to secure the adjustment bolt into position.

90o Bevel adjustment (Fig. M)

1.Loosen bevel lock handle (1) and tilt the cutting arm completely to the right. Tighten the bevel lock handle.

2.Place a combination square (2) on the miter table with the rule against the table and the heel of the square against the saw blade.

3.If the blade is not 90° square with the miter table, loosen the bevel lock handle, tilt the cutting head to the left, turn the bevel angle adjustment bolt (3) in or out with a 5mm hex wrench until the blade is square with the table.

4.Tilt the cutting arm to back to the right at 90° bevel and recheck for alignment.

5.Repeat steps 1 through 4 if further adjustment is

needed.
