ADJUSTING BLADE

PARALLEL TO TABLE SLOT

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.Lower the cutting arm. The saw blade (A) Fig. 33, should be parallel to the left edge (B) of the table open- ing.

3.If an adjustment is necessary, raise the cuttinghead, loosen screws (C) Fig. 34, and move the cutting arm until the blade is parallel with the left edge (B) Fig. 33 of the table opening. Then tighten the two screws (C) Fig. 34.

TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS

1.Before cutting, make certain the cutting arm and table are at their correct settings and firmly locked in place.

2.Before cutting, determine that the saw is the right size for the workpiece.

3.Place the workpiece on the table and clamp it firm- ly against the fence. Fig. 35, illustrates the standard equipment work clamp (A) being used to clamp a work- piece to the fence. The clamp (A) can also be used on the right side of the machine.

4.For best results cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

5. WARNING: If the workpiece you are cutting would cause your hand to be within the hazard zone of the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in place before making cut. See Fig. 35.

6.Never attempt any freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly against the fence and table).
