WARNING: Ensure the saw is mounted firmly to a stable flat surface. Failure to do so could cause the saw to be unstable and fall causing personal injury.
4.Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform mounted to the table. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the backfence (Fig. 22).
5.Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through the material. Failure to clamp securely or cut slowly could
result in the material coming loose and causing injury. After several cuts are made at various miter angles other than 0º, the platform may weaken and not properly support the work. Install a new, unused platform to the saw after presetting the desired miter angle.
CAUTION: Continued use of a platform with several kerfs may cause loss of material control and possible injury.
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However, abuse of the tool could cause the belt to fail.
If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the belt has failed. To inspect or replace the belt, remove the belt cover screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs of the belt for wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeezing the belt as shown in Figure 23. The belt halves should almost touch when squeezing firmly with the thumb and index finger. To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not remove, the four Phillips head screws shown. Then rotate the set screw on the top of the motor plate casting until the proper tension is achieved. Tighten the four screws securely and replace the belt cover.
NOTE: Over tightening the belt will cause premature motor failure.
