ALIGNING THE BLADE GUARD SPLITTER (Fig. H)
WARNING
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the plug is disconnected
from the power source outlet.
When installing the blade guard, cover the blade teeth
with a piece of folded cardboard to protect yourself
from possible injury.
Never operate this machine without the safety guard
in place for all through sawing operations.
IMPORTANT: The splitter must always be correctly
aligned with the blade so the cut workpiece will pass on
either side without binding or twisting.
1. Remove the table insert and raise the blade to the
maximum height by turning the blade elevation
handwheel clockwise.
2. Lift the blade guard and position it toward the rear of
the table.
3. Adjust the blade to the 90 vertical position by
unlocking the blade tilting lock knob and turning the
bevel tilting handwheel counterclockwise, and then
lock into position.
4. To see if the blade (1) and splitter (2) are correctly
aligned, lay a combination square along the side of
the blade and against the splitter (making sure the
square is between the teeth of the blade).
5. Tilt the blade to the 45 position and check the
alignment again.
6 If the blade and splitter are not correctly aligned:
a. Remove the blade guard by removing the wing
bolt that locks the guard in place.
b. Loosen and remove the two bolts (3) from the
mounting bracket (7).
7. Place two adhesive washers (5) on the guard
mounting bracket (attached to the saw). Position
them over the corresponding mounting bolt holes
(refer to step 6-b) after removing the adhesive backing
affixed to the washers.
8. Replace the two guard mounting bolts (3) and tighten
securely. Also reattach the blade guard assembly,
affixing it to the machine by its corresponding wing
bolt.
9. Check the splitter and blade alignment again at both
90 and 45 .
10. Add or remove the adhesive washers until the
alignment is correct.
11. Replace the table insert.
