OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The saw is equipped with a circuit breaker (A) Fig. 33. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.), or low voltage, turn the saw off by pushing the switch shield (A) Fig. 32. Let the motor cool three to five minutes and push the reset button (A) Fig. 33. Start the motor.

HOW TO ADJUST THE 90° AND 45° POSITIVE STOPS

Your saw is equipped with positive stops that will quickly and accurately position the saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops:

Disconnect the machine from the power source.

1.Raise the saw blade to its highest position.

2.Set the blade at 90° to the table by turning the blade- tilting handwheel counter-clockwise as far as it will go.

3.Use a combination square (A) Fig. 34 to see if the blade is 90° to the table surface.

4.If not, turn the handwheel one turn clockwise. Loosen the set screw (B) Fig. 34 with a 5/32" hex wrench. Turn the handwheel until the blade is at 90° to the table. Tighten the set screw (F) until it bottoms.

5.Loosen the screws (E) Fig. 35, adjust the hairline indicator

(D) to point to the 0° mark on the scale, and tighten the screws (E).

6.Turn the handwheel clockwise as far as it will go and use a combination square to see if the blade is at 45° to the table.

7.If not, turn the handwheel one turn counter-clockwise. Loosen the set screw (F) Fig. 34. Turn the handwheel until the blade is 45° to the table. Tighten the set screw (F) until it bottoms.
