Belt Table Miter Slot Parallelism Adjustment
1.Disconnect the power to the machine to prevent acci- dental
2.Set the table angle to zero.
3.Place a scale or adjustable machinist's square against either the left or right edge of the belt or platen and mea- sure the distance to the miter slot edge (See Figure 19).
4.Move the measuring device to the opposite edge of the belt or platen and measure the distance to the miter slot.
5.Adjust the table by loosening the three attachment screws under the table, then move the table until the distance be- tween the miter slot and belt or platen is equal on both sides.
6.Tighten the three attachment screws.
7.Reconnect the electrical power to the machine.
Belt Table Angle Adjustment
1.Loosen the table locking handle and tilt the table upward to about 15o.
2.Flip out the stop bracket (See Figure 21).
3.Lower the table until its adjusting screw touches the stop bracket.
4.Place a machinist's square against the table and belt or platen.
5.If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw (Figure 20) until the table is exactly square to the platen.
6.Check the pointer. If it is not on 0o, loosen the pointer screw and adjust the pointer until it is on 0o.
7.Tighten the pointer screw.
8.Loosen the table lock handle and tilt the table until its stop contacts the 45o stop position.
9.Using a machinist's protractor set on 135o (90o + 45o) adjust the screw until the table and platen are in correct adjustment. DO NOT reset the pointer after this operation.
