There should be no gap between the blade, the wood facing and the workpiece.

When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn base with the handle lowered. The wood facing will be damaged.

NOTE :

When the wood facing is attached, the max. cutting capacities in width (122 mm/4-3/4” a t 0”, 90 mm/3-1/2” a t 45”) will be reduced by thickness of the wood facing.

Adjusting for smooth handle action

The hex lock nut holding together the gear housing and arm has been factory adjusted to assure smooth handle action up and down and to guarantee precise cutting. Do not tamper with it.

Should looseness develop a t the gear hous- ing and arm connection, perform the fol- lowing adjustment. Work the handle up and down while tightening the hex lock nut; the best position to tighten the hex lock nut is just before the motor body weight is obvious.

After adjusting the hex lock nut, be sure the handle returns automatically to the initial position from any position. If the hex lock nut is too loose, the cutting accuracy will be affected; if it i s too tight, it will be hard to work the handle up and down. Note that this is a self locking nut; it is a special type that does not loose in normal use. It should not be overtightened or replaced with other types of nuts.
