Adjusting The Rollers
In order for the saw to run stable and cut a straight line,
the rollers must contact the track and not have too much
play. When there is too much play between the saw
carriage and track, the rollers must be adjusted.
The lower rollers should be adjusted if vertical play is
observed between the saw carriage and the track. To
adjust, loosen the four 6mm socket head setscrews
located on the bottom of the saw carriage. Loosening
the setscrews will allow you to turn the lower eccentric
bushing. Place a 0.002” - 0.003” shim between the roller
you are adjusting and the track. Rotate the eccentric
bushing using a 27mm or 1-11/6” socket until the shim is
held firmly between the roller and the track but you can
still pull it out. Once this is achieved re-tighten the
6mm socket head setscrew associated with the roller.
Move on to the next roller until they are all adjusted.
Note: Do not over tighten the 6mm socket head
setscrew. This could cause a slight deformity in the
eccentric bushing which could cause the plunge portion
of the roller to stick.
Note: The upper rollers located directly underneath
the saw carriage are fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Adjusting The Side Rollers
The side rollers should be adjusted if side play is
observed between the saw carriage and the track.
To adjust, located the eccentric side roller shaft and
loosen the 4mm socket head setscrew located on the
side of two of the saw carriage legs. Place a 0.002” -
0.003” shim between the side roller you are adjusting
and the track. Use a flat head screw driver to rotate
the side roller eccentric shaft until the shim is held
firmly between the side roller you are adjusting and
the track. Re-tighten the 4mm socket head setscrew.
Repeat on the other adjustable side roller.
Note: Make sure that the carriage can be removed and
re-installed on the track. If it is difficult to re-assemble
on the track, it is being held-up by the side roller and
needs to be re-adjusted for more clearance.
