ADJUSTMENT
FOR
"WEAR"
IN
RAISING
MECHANISM
Alter
a long period of
lime,
it
is possible
thal
the
raising
worm and the teeth
on
the arbor bracket
will
wear
slight-
ly
res·ulting in
play
in the
raising
mechanism.
To
com-
pensate for
this
wear the
raising
worm
and
the arbor
bracket can
be
brought
closer
together.
This
can
be
dOile
as
follows:
1. Remove
lock
knob
and
raising
handwheel but do
not
remove pointer.
2. Loosen
lock
nul (A)
Fig.

and
using the pointer
(B)
as
a lever turn to the
righi
or
left
until
ali
the per-
ceptible
play between the worm and arbor bracket is
removed.
3.
When
·
this
adjustment
is
completed, reset the
pointer.
ADJUSTING
90°
POSITIVE
STOP
Your saw is equipped
with
a
positive
stop
at
90
degrees,
To check
and
adjust the
positive
stop, proceed
as
follows:
1. Raise
the
saw blade ta its
maximum.
2. Set the blade
at
90
degrees
to
the table by turning
the blade
lilting
handwheel counterclockwise
as
far
as
it
will go.
3.
Place a square
on
the table as shawn in
Fig.28,
and
check to see
if
the blade is at a perfect 90 degree
angle to the table.
4. If the blade is not
at
90
degrees
to
the table,
loosen locknut (A)
Fig.
29,
and
back out
adjusting
stop screw (B). Then turn the bi
ade
ti

handwheel
until
you are certain the blade is at 90 degrees
to
the
table. The
adjusting

if
necessary.
RIP
FENCE
OPERATION
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
The
ri·p
fence can
be
used
on
eitlier side
of
the saw
blade. The most
common
location
is
on
the right hand
side. The
rip
tence is guided by means of guide
rails
fastened to the front '\nd rear
of
the table. The front
guide rai 1
is
calibrated ta show the distance the tence
is set from the .saw blade.
Ta
"move
the
rip
tence, rai
se
the clamp lever (A) Fig.30,
as
far as
it
wi Il go
and
move
the tence
ta
the desired
position
on
the table. For fine movement of the
rip
tence, raise the clamp lever (A)
Fig.
30, as far as
il
will
go
and
push in
and
turn the
"micro-set"
knob (B).
When
the clamp lever (A)

an adjustment
of
the rear Clàmp hook is made
by turnlng screw (C)

Turning the screw (C)
clockwise will increase tension
and

counter~
clockwise
will
decrease tension.
When

REMOVING
SAW
BLADE
When
removing saw blades from your saw, make sure the saw is disconnected from. the power
source. Remove the table insert, place a
block
of wood
against
the front of the
saw
blade
and
and using the arbor nut wrench, turn the arbor nut toward you.
OPERATION
Plain
sawing includes ripping
and
cross
cutting,
plus
a few other standard operaHons
of
a
fundamental nature. The
following
methods feature
safety.
As
with
ali
power tools
there
is a
certain amount of hazard invloved
with
the operator and his use of the tool. Using the tool
with
the respect and caution demanded as far as
safety
precautions are concerned wi Il
considerably
!essen the
possibility
of persona!
injury.
However,
if
normal
safety
precautions are overlooked
or completely ignored, persona!
injury
to the operator can develop.
1t
is
good practice
to
make
trial cuts using scrap material
when
setting
up
your saw
for
operation.
CROSS
CUTTING
Cross
cutting
requires the use of the miter gage to
position
and guide the work. Place the work against
the miter gage
and
advance bath the gage
and
work
toward the saw blade, as shown in
Fig.
33.
The miter
gage may
be
used in
either
table
slot,
however, most
operators prefer the
left
groove for average work.
When
bevel
cutting
(biade ti lted), use the
table
groove that
does not cause interference of your hand or
miter
gage ..
with
the saw bi
ade
guard.
Start the eut
slowly
and
hold the work
firmly
against
the miter gage
and
the table.
One
of the rules in run-
ning a saw
is
that you never hang onto
or
touch a free
piece of work. Hold thé supported piece, not the free
piece
thal
is eut
off.
The feed in cross
cutting
con-
tinues
unti1 the work is eut in two, then the miter gage
and
work are pulled back to the
starting
point. Before
pulling
the work back,
it
is
good
practice
to
give
the
work a
little
sideways
shift
to
move the work
slightly
away from the saw blade. Never
pick
up
any short
length of free work from the table
while
the saw is run-
ning. A smart operàtor never touches a eut-off piece
unless
it
is at least a foot long. Never use the tence
as a
cut·off
gage when cross
cutting.
For added
safety
and
convenience the miter gage can
be
fitted
with
an
auxiliary
wood-facing
thal
should
be
at least 1 inch higher than the maximum depth of eut,
and
should extend 12 inches or
more
on
either
side of
the blade.
This
auxiliary
wood·facing can
be
fastened
to
the front of the miter gage by using two wood screws
through the hales provided in the miter .gage body
and
into the wood·facing.
RIPPING
Ripping is the operalion oL:fnakil'lg a
lengthwisekut
through a board,
as
shown in
Fig.
34,
and
the
rip
fénce
is
used to
position
and
guide
the work.
One
edge of
the work rides against the
rip
tence whi le the
flat
side of the board rest
on
the table. Since the work
is pushed along the tence.
it
must have a
straight
edge
and
make
solid
contact with the table. The saw
guard must
be
used. The guard has
anti·kickback
fingers
and
a
splitter
to
prevent the saw kerf from
closing
and
binding the blade.
Start the motor
and
advance the work holding
it
dawn
and against the tence. Never stand in the
line
of the
saw eut when ripping. Hold the work
with
bath hands
and
push
it
along the tence
and
into
the saw blade
as shawn in
Fig.34.
The work can then
be
led through
the saw blade
with
one
or
two hands.
Alter
the work
is beyond the saw blade
and
anti·kickback
fingers the
hand is removed from the work.
When
this
is done
14
Fig.
35
the work
will
either stay
on
the table, t'ilt
up·slightly
and
be
caught by the rear
end
ot
Jhe·guaido=or si ide
off
the
table
to the
floor.
Alter~alely,
the·
f<Jed
can
continue to the
end
of the table,
aHer·which
the
work
is
lifted
and
brought back
along
·the .outside edge of
the tence. The waste
stock
remains
on
the
table
and
is
not
touch~d
with
th~
hands unti1
th~
saw is
stopp~d
unless
it
is
a 1?rge piece
allowing
safe removal.
.If the ripped_ work
is
1ess
than 3 inches
wide,
a push
stick
should
be
used
'to
complete the teed,
a,s
shawn
in
Fig.
35.
The push
stick
can
easily
be
made
from
scrap
[llateri.al.
When
ripping 2 inches or narrower,
make
an
auxiliary
guide and fasten
it
to
the
rip
tence,
anduse
a push
stick.
When
c~tting
thin material (such as veneer),
the
material may
Slide
or
catch between
the
bottom
of
the rip fence and the
~able
surface, causing loss
of
control
of the

piece.
Ta prevent -this
__
from happening, a wood tacing should be
at·
tached
ta
t-he
tence as follows:
1.
Cut a
