On Models 7400 and 7400XL saws
, located to the left of the motor.
•
On routers
, one lock knob located on each guide tube.
Adjusting the Crosscut Rulers (Saws)
The saw has one rip ruler mounted vertically, and two crosscut rulers, one attached to the frame on each side of
the saw. The rip ruler is set at the factory, but the two crosscut rulers must be adjusted to the specific blade that
is mounted in the saw. Be sure the blade is installed before following these steps:
1. Remove the blade guard (18) so the blade is exposed.
2. Loosen the carriage lock and lower the carriage as shown in Figure .
Figure 22: Adjusting the Crosscut Rulers
3. Use a square (17) that measures at least 14” on one side. Line up one edge of the square with the tips of the
saw blade, and the other edge of the square with the crosscut (horizontal) ruler. Slide the ruler (19) so that its
measure matches the measure on the square. A magnet holds the ruler in place, but you may wrap clear
tape around the ruler and frame for additional hold, if required.
4. Repeat the above steps to adjust the crosscut ruler on the other side (20) of the tool.
5. Make a simple cut to verify that the ruler is lined up correctly.
Adjusting the Material Thickness Control (Routers)
Adjust the control knob and spindle (on the back of the lifting platform) so the beveled router sub-base stops 1/8”
below the surface of the material being dadoed.
Failure to make this adjustment will ultimately result in
unnecessary damage to the router platform and/or an inconsistent depth of cutting.
