4.Place a level upon the machine table, and adjust the screws over the foot pads as necessary. When the machine is level, tighten all four hex nuts against the machine’s base.

Unpainted surfaces, such as the work table and fence, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft rag moistened with a good commercial solvent. Do not use acetone, lacquer thinner, gasoline or any flammable solvents. Do not use an abrasive pad.

Control Box

Swing out the control box (Figure 4). Use the set screws to control the tightness of the mounting arm.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with state and local codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible death.

A power plug is not provided with the SLR12. You may either connect one, or "hard-wire" the saw directly to your electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the machine for the operator. Consult electrical schematic on pages 30 and 31 for further clarification of wiring setup.

This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance to help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

Operating Controls

The buttons on the control panel are explained in Figure 5. After making electrical connections, the machine should be turned on to verify the direction of rotation. The blade arbor should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from front of machine (Figure 6). If rotation is wrong, turn off the machine, disconnect power and switch any two of the three electrical leads.

IMPORTANT: The emergency stop button (Figure 5) shuts down all operations on the machine simultaneously. To release the emergency stop button, twist it clockwise.
