ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL
OF SAW BLADE
The downward travel of the saw blade was adjusted at the factory to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. When an adjustment becomes necessary to limit the downward travel of the saw blade, proceed as follows: Loosen wing nut (E) Fig. 50, and make adjustment by turning adjusting screw (F). Tighten wing nut (E) after adjustment is completed. (for operations such as dado cutting see section of manual on “DADO CUTTING”)
LOCKING CUTTINGHEAD GUIDE RODS
The cuttinghead guide rods (G) Fig. 50, can be locked in place in order to use the saw as a conventional miter saw (using the saw as a chop saw instead of a sliding saw) by tightening lock knob (H). When using the saw as a chop saw, the cuttinghead should be all the way to the rear position before locking in place.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN
GUIDE RODS AND TABLE ASSEMBLY
To adjust the sliding fit between guide rods (G) Fig. 50, and table assembly (J), remove lock knob
(H)and loosen locknut (K). With wrenches provided, hold locknut (K) while turning adjusting nut
(L)clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the sliding action of the guide rods (G). This adjustment should not be too tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the rods or too loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut. When correct adjustment is made, hold adjusting nut (L) and tighten locknut (K) with wrenches provided. Replace lock knob (H). Periodically lubricate guide rods (G) using a light oil or spray lubricant to keep the guide rods (G) sliding smoothly.
TOOL STORAGE
Clips are supplied in the left side of saw table extension which provides a convenient storage area for the three wrenches (A) Fig. 51. These wrenches are used for various adjustments to the compound slide saw. NOTE: Storage area is located on the right hand side on Model
A
