ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD
On all ripping and plowing operations, the back part of
the blade guard is lowered so that it just clears the
material. This will prevent the material from being lifted
off the table. Also, lower the kickback rod (A) Fig. 46, so
that the kickback fingers are 1/8" below surface of
material. The kickback fingers will then come into
contact with the material preventing "kickback." Adjust
dust elbow (B) Fig. 46 to direct sawdust to rear of
machine.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC BRAKE
After a period of extended use, the automatic brake should be checked and adjusted if necessary to maintain proper
blade braking action.
NOTE: The blade stopping time should be a maximum of one second per one inch of the blade diameter.
To check the setting on the automatic brake:
1. Remove four screws, three of which are shown at (A) Fig. 47, and remove fan cover (B) from the motor.
2. The air gap (D) Fig. 48, must be maintained between .008" and .012". Use a feeler gauge (C) to measure the gap.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, turn lock nut (F) Fig.48, until a proper gap setting of .010" is attained.
4. Replace fan cover that was removed in Step 2.
