45° STOP ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 45.
•
Tilt the saw blade to 45°. Using a combination square, check to see if blade is 45°
to the table.
•
If the blade will not tilt to 45°, turn (counterclockwise) the set screw located at the
right of the table insert, until the blade can be positioned to 45°.
•
With the blade at 45°, tighten the bevel handwheel lock knob to keep the blade
from further tilting.
• Turn the set screw clockwise until it comes in contact with the positive stop.
TABLE INSERT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 45.
• The table insert must always be level with the saw table.
•
Place a straight edge across the front and rear of the table insert. Check that the
insert is perfectly level with the saw table.
•
To level the table insert, turn one or more adjusting set screws as needed and
recheck.
• The table insert is equipped with two finger holes for easy removal.
MITRE GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figures 46 and 47.
•
Mitre gauge supplied with saw is equipped with individually adjustable index stops
at 0° and 45°, right and left, and can be manually adjusted up to 60° right and left.
Adjustment to index stops can be made by loosening locking nut and tightening
or loosening three adjusting screws. Be sure to tighten locking nut after adjustment
is made.
• Face of mitre gauge has two holes for purpose of attaching auxiliary facing.
•
Mitre gauge is accurately constructed for precision work. Mitre gauge is guided
through T-slot with a roller guide mounted at front of guide bar. Roller guide adds
to mitre gauge's stability and prevents the guide bar from leaving T-slot.
•
To operate mitre gauge, simply loosen locking knob and move mitre gauge to
desired angle. The mitre gauge will stop at 0° and 45°, both right and left. To
position mitre gauge past these points, simply pull out gauge stop. Position mitre
gauge at desired angle and tighten locking knob.
•
Be positive the edge of workpiece next to face of mitre gauge is straight and tight
against mitre gauge so that the workpiece does not rock or rotate. Always use
both hands when operating the mitre gauge.
• The mitre gauge is used for cross-cutting, compound mitre cutting, mitre cutting,
rabbeting, bevel cutting and dadoing.
RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT
The saw's rip fence is precision manufactured, incorporating fine adjustments for
accurate cuts. The saw is built to allow the operator to accurately adjust the rip
fence without problems in a matter of seconds.
LEVELING THE FENCE TO THE TABLE
• Lift the lock handle to unlock the fence.
•
Observe the space between the fence bottom and the table. The space should
be equal along the entire length of the fence.
• If the space is not equal, the rails need to be adjusted so that rails are at the
same vertical position with respect to the table. See Rail Assembly.
