INSTALLING CONTROL CUT DEVICE
See Figure 34.
Note: Before installing the control cut device, the yoke
assembly will travel back and forward on the
carriage by pulling the handle. After installing
the control cut device, the power cord for the
control cut device must be plugged in and
switch trigger pressed to move the yoke
assembly and carriage on the arm.
_k WARNING: Do not install the control cut device
until after all of the initial adjustments and
alignments are made to prevent accidental
starting of the saw that could result in serious
personal injury.
The control cut device offers many benefits. As it
increases operator control, it eliminates the risk in a
cross cut of the saw "climbing" out and over the
workpiece at the operator. Feed control ofthe blade
as it cuts through the workpiece increases, as does
the accuracy of the cut.
The control cut cable maintains a steady pull on the
carriage assembly from the column. This tension
keeps the assembly at the column, unless you
squeeze the switch trigger in the handle. The switch
trigger activates the motor to counter the pull of the
cable.
After a cut is completed, press the switch on the arm
off, then release the switch trigger to prevent further
forward motion. Hold the handle until the blade has
stopped rotating. The yoke assembly will not roll
forward unless you are squeezing the switch trigger.
The control cut power cord is designed to operate on
a single voltage AC circuit. The speed can be set with
a thumbwheel on top of the handle. The three speed
settings are described on the label located on the left
side of the control cut housing.
,_ WARNING." Do not use the saw without the
control cut and blade guards in place unless
specifically instructed to do so. Otherwise
uncontrolled contact with the blade could occur,
resulting in personal injury.
,_= WARNING: Take great care when working with
either cord to ensure you have the correct one. If
you intend to unplug the main power cord but
remove the control cut cord instead, the
blade could be accidentally started and cause
injury.
• Plug in the control cut cord, leaving the main power
cord disconnected. Squeeze the switchtrigger to
confirm the control cut motor is receiving power.
• On the left side of the saw, remove the carriage
lockknob and spring. Remove the two screws that
attach the carriage cover and remove the cover.
• Replace the spdng and carriage lock knob. Pull the
carriage assembly about halfway to the front.
Tighten the carriage lock knob.
• Squeeze the switch trigger in the handle with your
righthand and pull the spring loaded cable from the
column with your left hand. Ifyou prefer to use a
pair of pliers, do not damage the cable. Note: Do
not to let the spring loaded cable clamp slip out of
your hand or pliers. If it slipspast the cable bracket
and goes up into the controlcut motor housing,
then disassembly of the controlcut assembly will be
required to get it back out.
• Place the barrel fitting intothe socket at the back of
the carriage assembly.
n Remove the carriage lock knob and spdng. Replace
the carriage cover and screws, then replace the
spring and carriage lock knob.
• Set the speed thumbwheel, using the chart on the
label. If you are unsure of the proper speed setting,
use the lowest setting.
