Table Tilt Handwheel

Backlash

The table tilt handwheel should move with very little backlash or slop when the saw is new. However, over time the rack and pinion gears controlling the tilt handwheel will wear from use, causing backlash to increase. You can eliminate freeplay by adjusting the tilt handwheel gears.

To adjust the table tilt gear backlash:

1.Disconnect the saw FROM POWER!

2.Turn the table tilt handwheel one way a couple turns, then turn it the other way to feel the backlash.

3.Unscrew the tap screws securing the angle sensor cover, then remove it to expose the rear rack mounting cap screw.

4.Loosen the two rack mounting cap screws and the loosen the jam nut shown in Figure 75.

4.While a helper tightens the adjustment hex bolt, turn the tilt handwheel back and forth. Tighten the hex bolt enough until you no longer feel any wobble or looseness when the handwheel is initially turned. Do not over- tighten the rack-and-pinion gears or they will bind.

5.Tighten the jam nut and the rack mounting screws, reinstall the angle sensor cover, then close the motor access cover.
