OPERATION (CONTINUED)
ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE BRACKETS
Refer to Figure 7.
The blade guides should be set as close to the vise jaws as possible.
The right blade guide bracket is not adjustable and is set at the
factory to clear the right hand vise jaw. The left blade guide bracket
can be moved to the left or right depending on the position of the
movable vise jaw. To move the left blade guide bracket, loosen the
hand knob, position blade guide bracket and tighten hand knob.
ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDES
If the blade is not perpendicular to the bed or not in line with the
blade wheel, adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: there should be a .000 - .001˝ clearance between the blade
and the guide bearings.
The guide bearings are adjusted using an eccentric location system.
The inner guide bearings are fixed and cannot be adjusted. The outer
guide bearings are mounted to eccentric shafts and can be adjusted.
1. Loosen hex nuts with a hex-head wrench.
2. Rotate the eccentric shaft to locate bearings in desired positions.
3. Maintain eccentric shaft positions and tighten hex nuts.
OPERATING VISE
Refer to Figures 10 and 11.
The workpiece is placed between the vise jaws with the required
amount to be cut-off extending out past the blade. To position the
moveable vise jaw, simply turn vise handwheel counterclockwise 1/2
turn and move the vise jaw to the desired position. Then tighten vise
by turning the handwheel clockwise.
The vise can be adjusted to cut any angle from 0 degrees to 45
degrees by loosening the two handles, one on each jaw. Position the
vise jaws to the desired angle and tighten the handles. It is also
necessary, when angle cutting, to move the right vise jaw to the left
until the workpiece and right vise jaw clear the right blade guide.
