8. To adjust the arbor bracket and motor pulley
loosen the cap screw and the setscrew
shown in Figure 19 and slowly slide the
arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.
Only move the arbor bracket a distance
equal to the amount of misalignment
between the blade and splitter, or a little
more. You can always adjust the splitter back
to the left with washers. Tighten the cap
screw and setscrew securely.
9. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts
and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment
of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen
the setscrew and slowly slide the pulley
toward the end of the motor shaft. Once the
V-belts are back into alignment, tighten the
setscrew securely.
10. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to
the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight-
en down all the bolts before use. If the blade
guard is properly aligned, re-attach the table,
making sure there is adequate blade clear-
ance through all blade adjustments.
11. Adjust the blade to 45° and raise and lower it
through the full range. Re-adjust the blade to
90° and raise and lower it through the full
range. There should be no contact between
the base and the table insert or any other
part of the saw. If there is, repeat Steps 7-9.

The table and wings
represent a very heavy
load. DO NOT over-
exert yourself while lift-
ing or moving the table
and wings – get assis-
tance.
5. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to
the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight-
en all the bolts before use. If the blade guard
is properly aligned, please skip ahead to
Section 5: Adjustments; otherwise, contin-
ue with the next step.
6. If the splitter is positioned to the right of the
blade, alignment cannot be achieved by
washer placement. The front support bracket
indicated in Figure 18 must be moved to the
left. Loosen the (2) cap screws and adjust.
7. If this adjustment does not allow enough
movement of the splitter, remove the table
and wings, and set them to one side.
