ADJUSTING DOWNWARD
TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
1.
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2.
The downward travel of the saw blade can be limit-
ed to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal
surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is made by
loosening locknut (A) Fig. 31, and turning adjusting
screw (B) in or out.
3.
When making this adjustment, MAKE SURE THE
MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE and lower the blade as far as possible as
shown in Fig. 31. Rotate the blade by hand to make
certain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces and
adjust if necessary.
CHANGING HANDLE POSITION
The cuttinghead handle (A) Figs. 29 and 30, can be repositioned for operator convenience by
loosening the two screws (B) and sliding the handle (A) to the desired position. Then tighten the
two screws (B).
Fig. 29, illustrates the handle (A) in the lowest position which is usually used when the machine
is being operated on a bench or work stand.
Fig. 30, illustrates the handle (A) in the highest position which is used when the machine is
being operated on the floor.
The handle (A) Figs. 29 and 30, can be positioned anywhere between the lowest and highest
positions depending on operator preference.
