ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING 45 AND 90 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS
The blade tilting mechanism of your saw is equipped with a positive stop
at 45 and 90 degrees. To check and adjust these positive stops, proceed
as follows:
1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning the blade tilting
handwheel counter-clockwise as far as it will go.
3. Place a square on the table and check to see if the blade is at a
perfect 90 degree angle to the table.
4. If the blade is not at 90 degrees loosen lock nut (A) Fig. 5 and turn stop
set screw (B) in or out. The stop set screw (B) should stop against the
bracket behind it when the blade is at 90 degrees to the table. Recheck
and adjust further if necessary. Retighten nut (A).
5. If the 45 degree postive stop is not set properly, turn the same
handwheel clockwise as far as it will go and follow the same procedure
using stop bolt (D) and nut (C). The stop bolt (D) should stop against
the underneath of the table top.
ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL WITH THE MITER SLOT
The blade should be aligned parallel with the miter slot. Use a steel rule
to measure the distance from the front edge of the blade to the miter slot.
Pivot blade 180º and remeasure the distance using the exact same point
on the blade. The difference between both measurements must be equal
to or less than 1/64”. If an adjustment is necessary, follow these
instructions;
1. Disconnect from the power source.
2. The trunnions (A- only one shown) underneath the saw table are
attached with four bolts (B- only one shown), one on each corner as
shown in Fig.5A. See part #’s 90, 91, 125, 127 in parts diagram as
reference. Determine which direction the trunnion needs to pivot to
bring the blade into alignment with the edge of the miter slot.
3. Leave one bolt tight, while loosening the other three. It might be
possible to pivot the trunnion into position - if not, slowly loosen the
fourth bolt until the trunnion will move. Check the measurements as
before until they are exaclty the same at the front and rear of the blade
and re-tighten trunnion bolts.
ADJUSTING TABLE INSERT
The table insert (A) is placed in the opening in the saw table, as shown
in Fig. 6 and should be level with the surface of the saw table. To adjust
the table insert (A), use a straight edge as shown in Fig. 6 and turn the
four adjusting set screws (B) in the insert, in or out until all 4 corners of
the insert are flush with the table top.
ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE POSITIVE STOPS
The miter gauge comes with adjustable positive stops at 45 and 90
degrees right and left. To adjust the 90º positive stop, loosen miter gauge
handle. Place a square against the body (A) Fig.7 and bar (B) and make
sure the body is at a 90º angle. Adjust screw and nut (C) against the
stoplink (D).
To adjust the 45º positive stops (left and right), loosen miter gauge
handle. Place a combination square against the body (A) Fig.7 and bar
(B) and make sure the body is at a 45º angle either to the right or left.
Adjust screw and nut (E) against the stoplink (D). Repeat for the
opposite side.
To rotate miter gauge body past the positive stops, flip stoplink (D) out of
the way.
