Table Tilt handwheel Backlash
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.
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
