Replacement Parts
Refer to the separate replacement parts information provided with the tool.
Alignment
The tool is aligned at the factory to a tolerance of:
•
±
1/32” (.8mm), on Models C4, C5, H4, H5, and H6
•
±
1/64” (.4mm), on Models 3400, 6400, 6800, TR2, SR5, and SR5U
•
±
.005” (13mm), on Models 7400 and 7400XL.
It needs realignment only if mishandled or abused, or if the motor or a roller is replaced.
Alignment consists of four steps that must be done in the following order (these steps are explained in detail
below):
1. Adjust the blade or bit so it is parallel with the guides.
2. Adjust the blade or bit so it will be perpendicular to the work piece.
3. Adjust the guides so they are perpendicular to the rollers.
4. Align the rollers.
Constructing an Alignment Tool
For maximum accuracy, construct a test square to check the full movement of the saw.
See Figure. Construct the square using a 6-ft (1.83m) metal ruler and two 4-ft (1.22m) metal rulers. (Using the 3’
(.91m), 4’ (1.22m), and 5’ (1.5m) measurements assures squareness.) Drill holes and attach the rulers with pop
rivets or small nuts and bolts.
Figure 32: Field Alignment Tool
Use the 6-ft (1.83m) ruler to check squareness of the rollers. Use the 4-ft (1.22m) ruler to check squareness of
the guide tubes or rails. The tool also can be used as a giant square for layouts.
