Adjustment of the Rollerhead to Arm (cont’d)
5.
Retighten the locking set screw securely to a required
torque of 90-100 inch/lbs., after adjusting each eccen-
tric.
6.
Replace the end cap
7.
If any of the top rollers do not revolve when in contact
with the top track it will be necessary to remove the
entire carriage to closely check each roller bearing. If
bearings do not revolve, and thorough cleaning doesn’t
make them all free to revolve, the defective ones
should be replaced.
Note-Too much pressure on the roller bearings will
cause excessive and unnecessary wear in the parts
and make the carriage work harder. Seven to ten
pounds average pull on the carriage is a desirable
preload.
Adjustment of the Yoke Clamp Handle
If the yoke clamp handle (A) becomes too loose the follow-
ing steps will correct this condition:
1.
Pull yoke clamp handle forward.
2.
Remove socket head cap screw (B) on the underside
of the yoke.
3.
Using the same allen wrench rotate the kingbolt (C)
counterclockwise to tighten.
4.
Replace the cap screw.
Adjustment of Table Top Parallel to Arm
The arm tracks must be parallel to the tabletop at all
points. This assures uniform depth of cut, especially
when dado cutting. Remove the blade and insert an
arbor wrench or allen wrench between the saw arbor
collars. Lower the wrench until it touches the tabletop.
If the top is not level:
1.
Locate the highest point by swinging the arm from
side to side and moving the carriage back and forth
on the arm.
2.
Loosen the lock nuts beneath the table frame.
3.
Raise the jack screws so as to bring the low parts of
the tabletop level with the high spots.
4.
Tighten the lock nuts beneath the table frame.
How to check the Guide Strip For Accuracy
For accurate work the guide strip must be straight. If the machine has been exposed to the weather or used for a period of
time the wood parts may become warped or worn so that the guide strip is no longer straight. It should be made straight by
planing and sanding. Check it with a straight edge or square before proceeding and make any adjustments necessary.
Caution! Disconnect and lockout power supply before making any adjustments or alignments.
