4) Using the chart on the inside of the cover determine what position to move the belt to get
the desired blade speed.
a. For standard 120V outlet use the 60Hz column.
b. Pulley orientation in illustration may differ slightly from actual saw. If chart displays
the belt in the top groves of the pulleys for a speed, then put the belt in the top
grooves, no matter the orientation of the pulleys.
5) After getting the belt in place, slide the motor left until the belt is taught, then tighten the
hex head screws securing the motor in place. Then close the pulley motor cover.
VERTICAL CUTTING
To switch to vertical cutting position:
1) Lift the head of the saw into the most upright position, 90° to ground.
2) Lock the down feed valve.
3) Remove the 2 cross-head screws (item 272) and the deflector plate (item 271) that are
located on the rear blade adjustable (item 262). Set aside the deflector plate for later use.
4) Take the vertical saw table (item 313) and slide it onto the blade, line up the holes on the
plate with the holes on the rear blade adjustable where the deflector plate was just
removed from.
5) Using the cross-head screws attach the plate to the rear blade adjustable.
6) Adjust the glade guide and guards if needed.
7) The saw is ready to operate. Keep in mind proper blade speed settings and safety
protocols.
To return saw to horizontal position:
1) Make sure the saw is off.
2) Unscrew the cross-head screws (item 272) and remove the vertical saw table (item 313)
and set aside.
3) Align the deflector plate (item 271) and screw back on to the rear blade adjustable (item
262).
4) Unlock the down feed and pull the saw head down until it lowers on its own with the
chosen down feed rate.
5) Adjust blade guides and guards if necessary.
