CHECK TABLE ALIGNMENT
Refer to Figures 21, 22 and 23.
•
Saws are shipped from the factory with the table adjusted so the mitre gauge slots
are parallel to the saw blade. However, in order to obtain the best results from the
saw, it is suggested this adjustment be checked before operating.
•
A simple method of checking alignment is as follows: Bolt or clamp a dowel rod
or similar object to mitre gauge (a combination square can be substituted). Pick
out a tooth on front of blade and set the dowel to it so it is just touching. Move
same tooth to back of blade.
•
Gauge this tooth with the dowel rod. If the tooth is in the same position, relative
to the mitre gauge slot, the table is parallel with the blade. In short, the mitre
gauge slots must be parallel with the blade. This means that when measuring
distance between blade and mitre gauge slot at the front and rear of the blade,
the distances will be equal (see Figure 21).
NOTE:
Be sure to measure the distance or make the test on the same tooth of the
saw blade in both front and rear positions.
•
If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: Loosen and remove the six
socket pan head screws and the rear panel (see Figure 22). Loosen the three hex
head bolts on the trunnion (see Figure 23) and shift trunnions until a position is
found where the saw blade is parallel to the mitre guage slots.
NOTE:
Saw blade should also be centered within its table insert opening.
•
Tighten the hex head bolts and lock washers very securely. This procedure will
set the table and blade in parallel position and prevent the trunnion from shifting.
NOTE:
If you perform this adjustment, leave the back panel off to perform rear rail
assembly as described in the next section.
RAIL ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figures 24-29.
Tools Required: 13 mm Open end Wrench
Hardware Required: Eight M8 x 28 hex head bolts, eight M8 x 25 hex head bolts,
four M8 x 20 hex head bolts, twenty M8 lock washers, twenty M8 flat washers,
sixteen M8 hex nuts and four M8 acorn nuts. (Hardware bag #2).
•
Insert two M8 x 28 hex head bolts and two M8 x 25 hex head bolts into the T-slot
of the right front guide rail. (The two longer bolts will attach to the table; the two
shorter bolts attach to the table extension.)
•
Attach right front rail to the table and right table extension using flat washers, lock
washers and hex nuts.
NOTE:
Hand tighten all hardware during rail assembly. Do not completely tighten
hardware until all rails are mounted.
•
Attach left front rail in the same manner. (The two longer bolts attach to the table;
the two shorter bolts attach to table extension.)
NOTE:
You may have to shift right rail as far right as it will go to attach left rail.
•
Position rails so that rails are butted together and the joint between rails is aligned
with right side of the blade. You may need a mallet to lightly tap rails together.
Make sure rails are completely butted together at the joint.
•
Use a straight edge as shown to check level and flatness between right and left
rail. Use a combination square as shown to make certain that both front rails are
parallel to the table surface.
• After front rails are adjusted level and flat, tighten the screws completely.
• Secure all hardware completely.
•
Loosen and remove six socket pan head screws and the back panel. This will
allow easier attachment of the rear rails.
•
Install the rear rails in the same manner as the front rails and align the rail joint
to the blade.
• Replace back panel of the cabinet.
•
Insert M8 x 20 hex bolts through holes in bracket at each end of brace. Attach
