WARNING

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is disconnected from the power source outlet.

• When installing the blade guard, cover the blade teeth

English

with a piece of folded cardboard to protect yourself from possible injury.

Never operate this machine without the safety guard in place for all through sawing operations.

IMPORTANT: The splitter must always be correctly aligned with the blade so the cut workpiece will pass on either side without binding or twisting.

1.Remove the table insert and raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the blade elevation handwheel clockwise.

2.Lift the blade guard and position it toward the rear of the table.

3.Adjust the blade to the 90O vertical position by unlocking the blade tilting lock knob and turning the bevel tilting handwheel counterclockwise, and then lock into position.

4.To see if the blade (1) and splitter (2) are correctly aligned, lay a combination square along the side of the blade and against the splitter (making sure the square is between the teeth of the blade).

5.Tilt the blade to the 45O position and check the

alignment again.

6If the blade and splitter are not correctly aligned:

a.Remove the blade guard by removing the wing bolt that locks the guard in place.

b.Loosen and remove the two bolts (3) from the

mounting bracket (7).

7.Place two adhesive washers (5) on the guard mounting bracket (attached to the saw). Position them over the corresponding mounting bolt holes (refer to step 6-b) after removing the adhesive backing affi xed to the washers.

8.Replace the two guard mounting bolts (3) and tighten securely. Also reattach the blade guard assembly, affi xing it to the machine by its corresponding wing bolt.

9.Check the splitter and blade alignment again at both 90O and 45O

10.Add or remove the adhesive washers until the alignment is correct.

11.Replace the table insert.
