ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD
WARNING!
NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARD IN THE
PROPER OPERATING POSITION. FALIURE TO DO THIS MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY!
1. Place the blade guard splitter (A) Fig.11 inside the table opening, loosen hex.
bolt (B), slide the splitter in between the mount plate (C) and the casting and
loosely tighten hex. bolt (B).
2. Make sure the blade guard splitter is level with the table and is
approxi mately 1/8” above the table. The space between the splitter and the
table keeps the splitter from binding on the table when the blade is tilted at
45
0
. Make sure the splitter is aligned with the blade kerf using straight edge
before completely tightening the hex. bolt.
WARNING!
SOME CUTTING OPERATIONS (DADO BLADE, MOLDING CUTTERHEAD)
WON’T ALLOW USE OF BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY. USE
EXTREME CAUTION DURING THESE OPERATIONS AS THE BLADE OR
CUTTERHEAD WILL BE EXPOSED AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
INSTALLING / CHANGING BLADE
1.
Make sure the cabinet saw is Off and the power cord is disconnected.
2. If you are replacing a blade, raise the saw blade to its maximum height, pivot
the blade guard out of the way and lock the saw at 0 degrees. Remove the
table insert.
3. Jam a large piece of scrap wood into the blade teeth at the front. See Fig.12.
4. Place the blade wrench (A) Fig.12 over the arbor nut (B) and pull the wrench
toward you (counterclockwise to loosen). Remove the arbor nut, flange (C)
and saw blade (D).
5. Place the new or different blade on the arbor shaft making certain the teeth point
down towards the front of the saw. Reposition the flange and the arbor nut.
6. Place the scrap wood in the blade’s teeth in the rear. Hold carefully so if it
slips or the blade turns, your hand will not contact the blade.
7. Using the wrench provided, securely tighten the arbor nut by pushing the
wrench away from you (clockwise to tighten). Remove the wrench and
reposition the table insert.
POSITIONING AND ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge shown in Fig.13 normally gets positioned on the left side of the
blade by sliding the miter gauge bar (A) into the table T-slot. It is important to
make sure there is no side to side play, to adjust, loosen cap screws which hold
adjust guide blocks (B), tighten the set screws mounted in the adjust guide
blocks, retighten the 2 cap screws and test the adjustment, adjust as necessary.
To operate the miter gauge, loosen lock knob (C) Fig.13, pull out the spring
loaded positive stop knob (D) and pivot the miter gauge body (E) to the desired
angle, release the positive stop knob once you have reached your desired angle
and tighten lock knob (C). If you desire a 0
0
or 45
0
setting to the right or left, it is
not neccessary to pull out the positive stop knob, simply turn the miter gauge
body until it snaps into one of the positive stop positions.
MITER GAUGE FLIP STOP
This miter gauge comes with a flip work stop (A) Fig.14 which get installed in
the T-slot on top of the miter gauge fence (B). To position the flip work stop,
loosen hex. bolt (C), move the flip work stop in the desired position and
retighten hex. bolt. When the flip work stop is not required, simply flip it upwards
or it can be removed completely.
