8. The arbor bracket and motor pulley needs
adjusting. Loosen the cap screw and the
setscrew as shown in Figure 17, and slowly
slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the
shaft. Only move the arbor bracket a dis-
tance equal to the amount of misalignment
between the blade and splitter, or a little
more. You can always adjust the splitter back
to the left with washers. Tighten the cap
screw and setscrew securely.
9. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts
and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment
of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen
the setscrew and slowly slide the pulley
towards the end of the motor shaft. Once the
V-belts are back into alignment, tighten the
setscrew securely.
10. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to
the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight-
en down all the bolts before use. If the blade
guard is properly aligned, reattach the table,
making sure there is adequate blade clear-
ance through all blade adjustments.
11. Adjust the blade to 45° and raise and lower it
through the full range. Readjust blade to 90°
and raise and lower it through the full range.
There should be no contact between the
base and the table insert, or any other part of
the saw. If it does, repeat Steps 7-9.

The table and wings
represent a very heavy
load. DO NOT over-
exert yourself while lift-
ing or moving the table
and wings – get assis-
tance.
5. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to
the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight-
en all the bolts before use. If the blade guard
is properly aligned, please skip ahead to
Step 10; otherwise, continue with the next
step.
6. If the splitter is positioned to the left of the
blade, alignment cannot be achieved by
washer placement. Adjustment of the front
support bracket is required. See Figure 16.
Loosen the (2) adjustment screws and move
left or right.
7. If this adjustment does not allow enough
movement of the splitter, remove the table
and wings, and set them to one side.
