G0524 Rip Saw -17-
For safety reasons, the saw blade must be
removed before the saw is test run to ensure
the wiring is not reversed at the main terminal
(Figure 14). If the wiring is reversed, the saw
arbor and the conveyor track will run in the wrong
direction.
To remove the blade:
1. If not already done, make sure the saw is
not connected to the power source!
2. Loosen the saw arbor lock lever.
3. Using the blade height handwheel, raise the
blade until it is approximately
1
⁄4" above the
conveyor track.
4. Open the blade access door.
5. Using the arbor wrench, hold the blade arbor
stationary.
6. Using the T-handle wrench, remove the
arbor bolt by rotating it counterclockwise.
7. Remove the large blade flange and carefully
slide the blade off the arbor.
8. DO NOT re-install the arbor bolt or flange
at this time.
The saw blade is very sharp and can cause
personal injury. Always wear thick leather
gloves when working on or around the saw
blade.
Remove The Blade
Before starting the saw, make sure you
have removed the saw blade, performed
the preceding assembly and adjustment
instructions, and have read through the
rest of the manual and are familiar with the
various functions and safety issues associ-
ated with this machine. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal
injury or even death!
To test run the saw:
1. Connect the power cord to an adequate
power source.
2. Put on safety glasses and make sure any
bystanders are out of the way and are also
wearing safety glasses.
3. At the front of the control panel, rotate
the red EMERGENCY STOP button until it
springs up. The control panel is now live and
any buttons you push will react accordingly.
4. Press the MAIN MOTOR START button. The
arbor should start and run smoothly.
5. The arbor should spin counterclockwise.
— If the arbor spins counterclockwise, then
skip ahead to the step 6
.
Test Run
DO NOT turn the conveyor track ON if the
arbor rotates clockwise. Reverse any two of
the power wires at the main terminal.
— If the arbor spins clockwise, DO NOT
start the conveyor track. Press the
red EMERGENCY STOP button and
disconnect the power cord from the
power source. Reverse any two of the
power wires at the main terminal and start
again at step 1
