Even though the cuttinghead travel may be perfectly
aligned at 90 degrees to the fence, the blade itself may
not be 90 degrees or square with the fence, (Fig. 42).
This condition is known as "heeling."To check and
adjust:
1. Cross-cut a board and see on which side of the cut
board saw teeth marks appear.
2. If saw teeth marks appear on the right side, the back
end of the saw blade must be shifted toward left side.
3. Loosen yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 43. Then loosen
both screws (B) Fig. 44, and turn yoke (C)
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. If saw teeth marks
appear on left side of board, turn yoke (C)
CLOCKWISE.
4. Tighten yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 43 to hold
position and retighten screws (B) Fig. 44.
5. Make another test cut and repeat steps 1 through 5
until “heeling” is eliminated.
An adjustable cross-cut stop (A) Fig. 45 is provided to
prevent unnecessary travel of the cuttinghead on the
track-arm. It is especially useful when performing
repetitive operations. Clamp the stop to the side of the
track-arm at a position which will stop the cuttinghead
travel as soon as the blade cuts through the workpiece.
