90 AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS
Your saw is equipped with positive stops for rapid and accurate positioning of the saw blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
TO ADJUST POSITIVE STOP AT 90 DEGREES
1.Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2.Loosen the blade tilting lock handle (A) Fig. 30, move the blade tilting mechanism (B) as far as possible to the left, and tighten the blade tilting lock handle (A).
3.Place a square (A) Fig. 31 on the table with one end of the square against the blade, and check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table. If not, loosen the screw (B) Fig. 31 a few turns and move the blade tilting mechanism until the blade is 90 degrees to the table. Tighten the blade tilting lock handle (A) Fig. 30, and tighten the screw (B) Fig. 31 until it stops.
TO ADJUST POSITIVE STOP AT 45 DEGREES
1.Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2.Loosen the blade tilting lock handle (A) Fig. 31, move the blade tilting mechanism (B) as far as possible to the right, and tighten the blade tilting lock handle (A).
3.Place a square (A) Fig. 32 on the table with one end of the square against the blade, and see if the blade is 45 degrees to the table. If not, loosen the screw (C) Fig. 32 a few turns and move the blade tilting mechanism (B) Fig. 30, until the blade is 45 degrees to the table. Tighten the blade tilting lock handle (A) Fig. 30, and tighten the screw (C) Fig. 32 until it stops.
RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
1.To move the rip fence (A) Fig. 33 along the table, lift up the fence locking lever (B), slide the fence to the desired location on the table, and push down the fence locking lever (B).
2.The pointer indicates the distance from the fence to the saw blade. If an adjustment is required, loosen the screw (C) Fig. 37 and adjust.
IMPORTANT: The rip fence must be properly aligned to the miter gauge slot to prevent kickback when ripping.
3.The saw blade is set parallel to the miter gauge slot at the factory. The fence must be parallel to the miter gauge slot to do accurate work and to prevent kickback when ripping. To check the alignment:
4.Position the fence next to the miter gauge slot (Fig. 33). Clamp the fence to the table by pushing the locking lever (B) down . The edge of the fence should be parallel to the miter gauge slot.
5.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the two screws (D) Fig. 33, and lift the locking lever (B). While holding the fence bracket (F) firmly toward the front of the saw, move the rear of the fence
(A)until it is parallel with the miter gauge slot. Tighten two screws (D) and push locking lever down (B).
6.Adjust the clamping action of the fence (A) Fig. 33 by lifting the locking lever (B) and turning the screw (E) clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the clamping action of the fence.
