BLADE TRACK ADJUSTMENT
1.Open the blade guard.
2.Remove the blade guide assemblies (top and bottom)
3.Loosen the hex head screw in the tilting mechanism to a point where it is loose but snug.
4.With the machine running, adjust both the set screw and blade tension knob simultaneously to keep
constant tension on the blade. The set screw and blade tension knob are always turned in opposite
directions, when one is turned clockwise the other is turned counterclockwise. The blade is tracking properly
when the back side just touches the shoulder of pulley or a slight gap appears near the center line of the
pulley. Care should be taken not to over tighten the saw blade since this will give a false adjustment and limit
life of the blade.
5.Tighten the hex head screw in tilting mechanism. IMPORTANT: Sometimes in trying to make this critical
adjustment it is possible to cause the basic setting to be misaligned. Should this occur, proceeds as follows:
a.Loosen the set screw and back it out as far as it can go and still remain in the threaded hold.
b.Turn the hex head screw clockwise until it stop (do not tighten).
c.Turn the set screw clockwise until it bottoms, then continue for half a turn and check the tracking by turning
on the machine.
d.If further adjustment is required, go back to step 4.
6.Turn off power to the machine.
7.Replace the blade guide assemblies it may be necessary to loosen the blade tension a lightly.
8.Adjust the vertical position of blade guide bearing assemblies so that the back side of the blade just touches
the ball bearings.
9.Make a final run to check tracking. It required, touch up adjustment (See stop 4)
10.Replace the blade guards.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ATTEMTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the following components using SAE-30 oil as noted.
1.Driven pulley bearing: 6-8 drops a week.
2.Vise lead screw: as needed.
3.The drive gears run in an oil bath and will not required a lubricant change more often than once a year,
unless the lubricant is accidentally contaminated or a leak occurs because of improper replacement of the
gear box cover. During the first few days of operation, the worm gear drive will run hot. Unless the temperature
o
exceeds 200 F, there is no cause for alarm.
4.The following lubricants may be used for the gear box:
a)Atlantic Refinery Co., Mogul Cyl. Oil
b)Cities Service Optimus No.6
c)Gulf Refinery Co Medium Gear Oil
d)Pure Oil co. Park Clipper
