Extension Cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position the machine within reach of the power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 19 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Table Tilt
Refer to Figures 20 and 21.
1.Loosen the lock lever (A).
2.For right tilt (as viewed from front or operator’s side of the saw), rotate the handwheel (B) counterclockwise to tilt table up to 45°.
3.For left tilt (as viewed from front or operator’s side of the saw), loosen the lock lever (A) and rotate the handwheel clockwise a turn or two to release pressure on the 90° stop bolt (C). Rotate the circular plate (D) out of the way. Then rotate the handwheel clockwise to tilt the table to 15°.
The
4.Tighten the lock lever (A, Figure 20) to secure the setting.
NOTE: The circular plate (D) can be tightened or loosened as desired by using a 5/32” (4mm) hex wrench on the screw.
Also, the lever (A, Figure 20) can be pivoted to a more convenient position. Simply lift straight out on the lever and rotate it on the pin, then release the lever making sure it seats itself on the pin.
90° Table Stop
Refer to Figures 20 through 22.
The 90° positive stop ensures that the table will always be perpendicular to the blade after the table is returned to horizontal position. Check and adjust this 90° stop as follows:
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.Make sure blade is under full tension.
