engages the
Dado depth adjustment screw
.
2. To set the depth to which the blade will cut during this operation, pull the
Dado
stopper plate
out from its resting position.
. Push the handle down completely, to its lowest position, and notice that now
the
Dado depth adjustment screw
is what limits the downward travel of the
sawhead.
4. Turn the
Dado depth adjustment screw
with a hex wrench so that the saw blade
teeth at their lowest point are above the table surface at a height corresponding
with the desired depth of the dado.
5. Tighten the hex locking nut on the shank of the
Dado depth adjustment screw
to lock its setting.
6. Test the depth of the dado by making a trial cut in a piece of scrap material.
7. Adjust as necessary.
NOTE:
This saw is
not
designed to be used with a true dado blade. In order to
make wide dadoes, use a standard width (1/8" thick) blade and make multiple
adjacent cuts at the set depth or make a cut on each side and remove the
material in between manually.
MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power switch and
disconnect plug from power source.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if
it is damaged
The plastic table kerf plate insert should be replaced if damaged to reduce the
risk of chips lodging in the slot and catching in the blade.
Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible
electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
Keep the tool housing and handle clean and free of oil and grease using mild
soap and a damp (not wet) cloth.
Lubrication is done at the factory and with the exception of the slide bearing,
should not be necessary again under normal use.
An authorized repair center should do any repairs, modification, or maintenance
that involve disassembling the saw.
Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair center.
ADJUSTING CUTTING CAPACITY
WARNING:
Before any adjusting disconnect the machine from the power source.
This machine has been set by the manufacturer at the maximum cutting capacity
for a 12" saw blade. When the diameter of the blade diminishes because of
sharpening, adjust the machine per the following instructions:
1. Push the carriage to the back, in the direction of the fence as far as it will go.
2. Push the handle down completely, to its lowest position.
. Turn the
Kerf depth adjustment screw
with a hex wrench so that the saw blade
teeth are very slightly below the table surface in line with the front surface of
the fence.
4.
Be sure the saw is disconnected from power.
Turn the saw blade by hand,
and pressing the handle to its lowest position, check the saw blade does not
contact anything below the table. If necessary, you can adjust upward very
slightly.
5. Tighten the hex locking nut on the shank of the
Kerf depth adjustment screw
to
lock its setting.
