BACKLASH ADJUSTMENTS
FOR BLADE RAISING AND
BLADE TILTING
MECHANISMS
If any play is detected in the blade raising or blade tilting
mechanisms, the following adjustments should be made.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
1. NOTE: The machine has been turned upside down
and the blade removed for clarity and safety.
2. Adjusting blade raising mechanism - Loosen
locknut (A) Fig. 61, and turn eccentric sleeve (B) until all
play is removed in mechanism, then tighten locknut (A).
3. Adjusting blade tilting mechanism - Loosen
locknut (C) Fig. 61, and turn eccentric (D) until all play is
removed in mechanism, then tighten locknut (C).
RIP FENCE OPERATION
AND ADJUSTMENTS
The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw
blade. The most common location is on the right side
and is guided by means of guide rails which are fastened
to the front and rear of the table.
1. To move the rip fence, raise the lock handle (A) Fig.
62, as far as it will go and move the fence to the desired
position on the table. When the lock handle (A) Fig. 62,
is pushed down, clamping action on the rip fence (B)
should be adequate. However, if the clamping action is
too loose or too tight, an adjustment can be made by
equally tightening or loosening two screws (C) as
necessary. NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the
cursor (D) Fig. 64, to make this adjustment
THE BLADE FLANGE IS SET PARALLEL
TO THE MITER GAGE SLOT AT THE FACTORY AND
THE RIP FENCE MUST BE PROPERLY ALIGNED TO
THE MITER GAGE SLOT IN ORDER TO PREVENT
“KICKBACK” WHEN RIPPING.
2. Position the fence (B) Fig. 62, along one edge of the
miter gage slot (F) as shown and lock the fence in that
position. The edge of the fence (B) Fig. 62, should be
parallel to the miter gage slot (F). If an adjustment is
necessary, proceed as follows:
3. Tighten or loosen either of two screws (C) Fig. 62, as
necessary, until the fence (B) is parallel to the miter gage
slot. NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the cursor (D)
Fig. 64, to make this adjustment. Readjust the clamping
action on the fence; if necessary, refer to STEP 1. Re-
assemble the cursor.
THE RIP FENCE MUST BE
PERPENDICULAR TO AND LEVEL WITH THE SAW
TABLE.
4. Using a square (G) Fig. 63, check to see if the rip
fence (B) is perpendicular to the saw table and that the
rip fence body is level with the saw table. If an
adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen either of two
screws (K), until the fence is perpendicular and level with
the saw table.
