Lower Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the lower elevation limit stop, remove the blade from the arbor, open the motor cover,
and remove the dust shroud door as described on page 20. While watching the arbor block through the motor
cover opening, turn the elevation hand wheel counter-clockwise until the bottom of the arbor block just touches
the rubber bumper mounted on the trunnion brace (see Fig. 69).
The purpose of the bumper is to absorb
the energy of the arbor block when the
arbor block retracts below the table upon
activation of the safety system. As shown
in Fig. 69, the lower elevation limit stop
should be adjusted so that the arbor block
compresses the bumper about
1
/
4
inch
at the lowest elevation. This should also
ensure that a 10 inch blade is at least
1
/
8
inch below the top of the table.
Lower the blade elevation until the lower
limit stop is engaged. If the bumper is
compressed about
1
/
4
inch, no further
adjustment is necessary.
The lower elevation limit stop is set by the
bolt mounted in the upper front portion
of the elevation plate (see Fig. 68). The
head of the bolt is painted yellow for easy
identification. To adjust the position of the lower limit bolt, first loosen the locking nut and back it off several
turns. If you plan to adjust the limit stop downward, turn the bolt counterclockwise several turns.
Next, set the blade elevation to the correct minimum height. Turn the lower limit bolt clockwise until it is tight.
Finally, turn the locking nut clockwise until it is tight. The lower elevation limit stop has now been set.
