ADJUSTING TABLE TOP

PARALLEL TO TRACK-ARM

For accurate work the track-arm must be parallel to the table top at all points.

To check and adjust:

1.Move the motor and cuttinghead assembly (A) to the vertical position (Fig. 18). Position saw arbor (B) Fig. 18, so that it is approximately in the center of the front table board. Push track-arm clamp handle

(C)Fig. 18 to the rear to secure track-arm and tighten cuttinghead clamp knob (G) Fig. 5.

Using the spanner wrench (E) Fig. 18 as a feeler gauge, raise or lower track-arm by turning elevating handle (F) Fig. 19 until saw arbor (B) just touches wrench (E). DO

NOT RAISE OR LOWER TRACK-ARM ANY FURTHER UNTIL LEVELING ADJUSTMENT IS COMPLETED.

2.Move cuttinghead (A) so that the saw arbor (B) Fig. 19 is at the left front table, as shown. Make sure track-arm clamp lever and cuttinghead lock knob are tight. Using the spanner wrench (E) Fig. 19 as a feeler guage check to see if an adjustment is necessary. To lower the table, loosen nut (G) and tighten nut (H) Fig. 19. To raise the table, reverse this adjustment. Check table at points (J) and (K) and adjust if necessary. Check table on right side in the same manner.
