HEAD SWING and BREAK
An integral function of the S23P II is the ability to make mitered cuts at angles between 90 and 30 degrees. The Head
swing of the S23P II is easily changed to set a different cutting angle by first releasing the Angle Brake lever, and then
manually moving the Head to the cutting angle desired. An angle scale with a pointer in clear view of the saw operator
allows for accurate setting of the cutting angle. The Angle Brake lever is then locked in position by forcing it into the down
position. It should be noted that the angle brake should be locked into position whenever cutting with the saw. The photo
illustrates the Angle Brake in the locked position at 65 degrees. To set the saw to the 90 degree position, the Head (in the
fully down position) is moved until the frame meets the 90 degree
stop bolt.

SETTING the HEAD LINEAR POTENTIOMETER (RHLS/FHLS LIMIT)
Cycle through the parameters until the following is on the display:
RHLS/FHLS LIMIT
HEAD POS = XXX
* You must push the RESET button to energize the emergency relays *
1. The head must be lowered until it reaches the mechanical bottom position. In order to execute this operation you
must first push the shift button (CYCLE PARAMETERS) and while holding this button depressed then push the (HEAD
DOWN) button until the head reaches its bottom limit. Increase the number value displayed by 1 unit ( Raise the Head) by
holding the (CYCLE PARAMETERS) and while holding this button then press (HEAD UP).
2. The current value of the linear potentiometer must be stored. First push the shift button (CYCLE PARAMETERS)
and while holding this button depressed then push the (HEAD DOWN LIMIT) button.
3. Once completed the display will read the following message: FHLS = XXX
4. The head must now be raised until it reaches the mechanical top position. Push the shift button (CYCLE PARAM-
ETERS) and while holding this button depressed then push the (HEAD UP) button until the head reaches its upper limit.
5. Store the current value of the linear potentiometer by first pushing the shift button (CYCLE PARAMETERS) and
while holding this button depressed push the (HEAD UP LIMIT) button.
6. Once completed the display will read the following message: RHLS = XXX
During machine operation the display will show a certain value at the head up limit position and “0” at the head down posi-
tion.
