ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE
WITH THE TABLE SAW DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
CONNECTING SAW TO POWER SOURCE
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your power tools. This circuit
should be no less than a #12 wire and should be protected by a 20 Amp time
lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extensions cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug. For distances up to 100 feet use #12 wire. For distances up to 150
feet use #10 wire. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure
the switch is in the ‘’OFF’’ position and be sure the electric current is of the
same characteristics as stamped on the motor nameplate. All line
connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage
the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock. The motor recommended for use with your saw is shipped wired for
110 Volt, single phase and is equipped with 3-conductor cord and 3-prong
grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle as shown in
Fig.20. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect
the green wire to a live terminal.
RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw blade. The most
common location is on the right hand side. To move the rip fence, lift the front
lock ing lever (A), Fig.21, and move the fence to the desired position. If an
adjustment to the pointer is necessary, mesure the distance from the right
side of the blade to the fence and adjust the pointer accordingly.
The blade is set parallel to the miter gauge slot at the factory. The fence must
be adjusted so it is parallel to the miter gauge slot. This adjustment is
necessary in order to prevent kickbacks. To check the rip fence, set it at one
of the miter gauge slots. Lower the front lock knob (A). The fence should line
up parallel with the miter gauge slot. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen
fence adjusting screws (D), Fig.21. With the front lock knob (A) still tight,
move back end of fence to the right or left lining the fence up with the miter
gauge slot. Retighten fence adjusting screws (D).
MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
The miter gauge supplied with your saw is accurately constructed and
equipped with adjustable index stops at 90
0
, 45
0
, 30
0
right to left. To operate
the miter gauge, simply loosen the lock knob (A) Fig.22, pull down stop (B),
rotate the miter gauge to the desired angle and then tighten lock knob (A). To
quick set the miter gauge at 90
0
,45
0
, 30
0
right to left, push up on the stop (B)
so that it engages the screws in the miter gauge body.
To adjust the miter gauge, set it at 90
0
, as shown in Fig.22. Make a cut on a
scrap piece of wood. Then with a square, check to see if the piece of wood
was cut at 90
0
. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen pointer screw (C) and
make adjustment. Tighten screw (C) and make another cut. Continue this
adjustment until you are certain you have a 90
0
cut and set the pointer to the
90
0
mark on the scale.
