SETTING THE BEVEL LOCK LEVER

See Figures 18A- 18C.

The bevel lock lever locks the blade at desired angles

 

 

 

other than the preset positive stop angles. The bevel

 

 

 

lock lever is preset at the factory but may need

 

 

 

readjustment after shipping or extended use. Check

 

 

 

for overtightness or looseness and make any neces-

 

 

 

sary adjustments

as follows:

 

 

 

The bevel lock lever is located on the front of the yoke

 

 

 

assembly, near the bottom. It is attached to a clamp

 

 

 

bolt that controls

the amount of tightness.

 

CLAMPBOLT

[] Pull the bevel lock lever forward to unlock it. Use

m

 

 

 

 

 

the bevel index knob (just under the handle) to

 

 

 

rotate the motor approximately 30 °. Lock the bevel

 

 

 

lock lever.

 

 

 

 

[] if the bevel lock lever is difficult to lock, the clamp

 

 

 

bolt needs to be loosened. If the motor can be

 

 

 

forced out of position, the clamp bolt needs to be

[] Use the bevel lock handle as a wrench to tighten or

 

 

 

loosen the clamp bolt. The clamp bolt has a right-

 

 

 

handed thread. Tighten it left to right.

 

 

 

[] When the bolt is correctly set, remove the bevel

 

 

 

lock lever from the clamp bolt and place it roughly

 

 

 

parallel to the yoke assembly.

 

 

 

[] Replace the socket screw and star washer. Re-

 

 

 

check the tightness of the bevel lock lever. Repeat

 

 

 

the steps above until the motor is secure when

 

 

 

locked, and the bevel lock lever fits squarely

 

 

 

against the yoke assembly.
