(2)Place a square against the spreader and saw table top. (See figure 36.) If the spreader bar is not positioned at 90 ° with the table, loosen the two clamping screws (figure 35) and rotate the spreader bar until the spreader is square with the table (figure 36.) Tighten the two clamp- ing screws (figure 35) and recheck to make sure tightening the screws did not change the adjust- ment. More than one trial may be required.

(3)Sight along the spreader and saw blade to check'

for alignmenl;. An alternate method is to hold a straightedge against each side of saw blade and notice whether or not the spreader is centered in the gap thus formed between the straightedges.

(4)If the spreader is too far to the right or left, loosen the hex-head set screw in outer end of spreader bar and slide the spreader rod in or out of the hole in the spreader bar until correct alignment is obtained.

(5)Rotate the plastic guard down into operating position.

(6)For safety and to minimize kickbacks, the blade guard and spreader must always be in place for all thru-sawing operations. The spreader must

always be kept in proper alignment with the saw blade so the spreader doesn't prevent pushing the work past the blade. The blade guard will help to prevent sawdust and splinters from being thrown upward.

(7)To remove the blade guard and spreader, loosen the lock handle and slide it off. Do not disturb

the spreader rod.

CAUTION: Use extra care whenever the blade guard is removed far operations in- cluding Dado and Molding.

8.Adjust the Exact-I-Cut Indicator. (See figures 37 and 38.)

The cut indicator ("Exact-I-Cut") located a few inches ahead of the saw blade, enables the operator to deter-

mine precisely where the cut in a particular board will occur, provided the cut indicator shoes have been cor-

rectly positioned. It should be checked and adjusted (if necessary) as follows:

a.Position the saw blade in the 90 ° position (0 ° on

tilt scale), by loosening the clamp knob and rotating the tilt crank counterclockwise until it will rotate no

farther. Tighten the clamp knob.

b.With the saw running, place a straight board (pref- erably hardwood) against the miter gauge and hold it securely in the miter gauge.

c.Make a small cut and pull the miter gauge back until

the cut is directly on the "Exact-I-Cut".(See figure 37.) If both cut-indicatorshoes are aligned with the edges of the cut, no adjustment is required. If not aligned, loosen the two socket, fiat-headscrews with a 1/16 inch hex-"L'"wrench and slide the cut indi- cator shoes laterally until the edge of each shoe is aligned with its respective edge of the cut in the board. (See figure 38.) Tighten both screws and recheck for accuracy of the adjustment.
