To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your machine will draw.
WAR I G
!
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of
the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in a loss of power and overheating.
WAR I G
!
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate
that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by
a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from children, sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
USE O LY a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole
receptacle that accepts the machine’s
plug.The third prong is used to ground the
tool and provide protection against
accidental electric shock. DO OT remove the third.

(10 mm). Countersink Ø 7/8"
(22 mm) x 1/2" (13 mm)
depth.
3. Assemble the table to the machine frame, but do not
overtighten the four pan screws.
4. Slide the carriage to
the end of the arm and
place a precise,
verified and reliable
square against the
fence and blade.
5. While holding the
bracket against the
fence, slide the
carriage to the
column. The blade
must not push the
square or move away
from it. If adjustment is necessary, lightly tap the table
to make it pivot to adjust.
6. When the setting is satisfactory, permanently lock the
four cap screws.
◊ PARALLELISM OF THE BLADE
A D THE CARRIAGE ARM
With use and after a certain time, the blade and carriage
arm could no longer be perfectly parallel to each other. An
abnormally wider saw cut than the kerf of the teeth or a
feeling of "friction" of the blade during cutting can be factors
that indicate this problem. The marks left on the material by
the teeth of the saw blade should correspond to arcs of
circles that intersect.
◊ SQUARE ESS OF GUIDE A D
CHA GI G THE MARTYR TABLE
After some time, multiple cuts at different angles and
different rip cut widths you may need to replace the martyr
table.
1. Remove the four panhead screws that secure the table
to the frame and retain this old table for reference until
your new table is in place and functional.
If this is not the case, determine if it is only blade entry teeth
marks or exit teeth marks . By inference, it will be possible
to diagnose whether the assembly should rotate clockwise
or counter-clockwise.
1. Loosen the locknuts to release the adjustment.
Screwing the right screw / unscrewing the left screw =
anticlockwise.
Screwing the left screw / unscrewing the right screw =
clockwise.
2. Lock the locknut and make a test cut on a trial board.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed.

◊ CHECKI G A D ADJUSTI G SAW
BLADE SQUARE TO TABLE
1. Place the cutterhead in a cross-cut position. Lower
track arm until the saw blade is just clear of the table
and slide the carriage forward until it is positioned over
the front table board; clamp the carriage in position .
2. Remove the hose and outer blade guard.
3. Make certain the bevel index knob is engaged and the
motor is in a horizontal position. Tighten bevel clamp
handle.
6. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen nuts, adjust
screws until the blade is square to table.Tighten lock
nut.
7. Adjust pointer to “zero” on the bevel index scale.
8. Replace the outer blade guard
4. Place a square on the table and against the saw blade,
between two teeth of the saw blade and check to see if
the blade is square with the table.

4. Same process on
back side.
5. Replace end plate
on the track-arm.
3. Loosen screw in front and the jam nut under. Turn the
bolt in the required direction until the bottom bearing are
leaning against the rails. Unlock the carriage to make a
test by moving it.

ote: Adjust only enough to eliminate play – do
not over tighten as this can stiffen or restrict
carriage travel, requiring more effort to move it
and cause premature wear of the rails.
