ADJUSTING TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING

CUTTING HEAD MUST RETURN QUICKLY TO THE UP POSITION. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

The tension of the cuttinghead return spring was adjusted at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the “up” position after a cut has been made. If it becomes necessary to adjust the spring tension:

Loosen the locknut (A) Fig. 27 and turn the screw (B) clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension. After adjustment, tighten the locknut (A).

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. 27A, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, turn the nut (D). 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.
