Positioning Table Supports/installing Front Table/Leveling Front Table
Note: The goal in adjusting the table supports and leveling the front table is to make sure that the table is the same distance from the radial arm at all points. This ensures that when the table and blade are installed the clearance between them will be equal at all points.
Positioning Table Supports
1.Release bevel lock lever, move bevel index lever to the left, raise motor with eleva- tion crank and rotate the motor to position arbor shaft down. Tighten bevel lock lever.
2.Unlock and hold miter/arm lock lever in index release position as shown. Position arm against left stop (approximately 50° miter). Loosen carriage lock knob and posi- tion arbor shaft directly over left hand chan- nel. Lock miter/arm lock lever.
Note: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL standard, miter stops at 50° left and 90° right have been provided to prevent 360° rotation of the radial arm.
3.Slide the arbor wrench handle between end of motor shaft and table support to act as a feeler gauge. Carefully lower the motor with elevation crank until the end of shaft is just touching the arbor wrench. The wrench should slide back and forth with only slight resistance. Tighten screw "A".
Note: Do not change this elevation setting until both left and right hand table support channels have been adjusted.
4.Unlock miter/arm lock lever. Move arm and carriage to screw "B". Lock miter/arm lock lever. Adjust position of table support so that the arbor wrench just slips between the end of the motor shaft and the support. Tighten screw "B".
5.Move arm and carriage to right hand table support and level in the same manner as in step 3 & 4.
6.Recheck both support channels to make sure that tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the adjustment.
7.Elevate motor and return motor to hori- zontal position to provide clearance for installation of front work table.
