ADJUSTING TABLE TOP
PARALLEL TO TRACK-ARM
For accurate work the track-arm must be parallel to the
table top at all points.
To check and adjust:
1. Move the motor and cuttinghead assembly (A) to
the vertical position (Fig. 18). Position saw arbor (B)
Fig. 18, so that it is approximately in the center of
the front table board. Push track-arm clamp handle
(C) Fig. 18 to the rear to secure track-arm and
tighten cuttinghead clamp knob (G) Fig. 5.
Using the spanner wrench (E) Fig. 18 as a feeler gauge,
raise or lower track-arm by turning elevating handle (F)
Fig. 19 until saw arbor (B) just touches wrench (E). DO
NOT RAISE OR LOWER TRACK-ARM ANY FURTHER
UNTIL LEVELING ADJUSTMENT IS COMPLETED.
2. Move cuttinghead (A) so that the saw arbor (B) Fig.
19 is at the left front table, as shown. Make sure
track-arm clamp lever and cuttinghead lock knob
are tight. Using the spanner wrench (E) Fig. 19 as a
feeler guage check to see if an adjustment is
necessary. To lower the table, loosen nut (G) and
tighten nut (H) Fig. 19. To raise the table, reverse this
adjustment. Check table at points (J) and (K) and
adjust if necessary. Check table on right side in the
same manner.
