Revolving the Motor Vertically in the
Yoke
Raise the arm to allow the saw blade sufficient clearance above
the table top. Release the bevel clamp handle , grasp the saw
guard with the left hand and lift the bevel latch handle. The
motor can now be swung to a bevel position as indicated on the
bevel scale. Lock the motor by engaging the bevel latch han-
dle (possible only at 0
o
, 45
o
and 90
o
) and by locking the bevel
clamp handle.
Adjusting the Saw Guard
The 16” guard can be pivoted about the motor by loosening the guard mounting wing nut.
The 20” guard can be pivoted about the guard bracket by loosening the two wing nuts on the motor side of the guard.
CAUTION—DO NOT ADJUST THE GUARD, OR ANTI-KICKBACK WHILE BLADE IS MOVING. KEEP ALL ADJUSTING
MECHANISMS TIGHT.
Cross Cutting
Lock the arm in the 0
o
position. Place the material
securely against the guide strip– keep hands well away
from the blade. Draw the saw blade across the mate-
rial. After the cut has been completed return the blade
behind the guide strip. Observe this order of operation
for all cross cuts. Never push the saw blade into the
material. Pull the blade slowly and firmly across the
material from the rear of the arm using the operating
handle. The saw blade should cut into the table about
1/ 16” when cutting through the material. Raise the
anti-kickback to just clear the material being cut.
Adjust for varying wood thickness or warped material.
