PREPARATION
Assembly
This machine comes pre-assembled from the
factory. However, tension has been removed from
the blade for shipping purposes. Before operating
the machine for the first time, you MUST make
sure the blade is properly tensioned. Refer to the
Blade Tensioning procedure on Page 23 for
instructions about how to do this.
Inspections &
Adjustments
The following list of adjustments were performed
at the factory before your machine was shipped:
s Blade Guide Adjustment ..............Page 26
s V-Belt Adjustment ..........................Page 34
s Table Calibration ...........................Page 35
s Blade Tracking ................................Page 35
s Guide Post Alignment ...................Page 36
Be aware that machine components can shift
during the shipping process. Pay careful
attention to these adjustments as you test run
your machine. If you find that the adjustments
are not set according to the procedures in this
manual or your personal preferences, re-adjust
them.
Your machine was lubricated at the factory,
but we strongly recommend that you inspect all
lubrication points yourself and provide additional
lubrication if necessary. Refer to Lubrication on

Machine Mounts
Machine mounts are rubber pads mounted to
a threaded stud, which can be fastened to the
bottom of the machine.
Machine mounts offer certain advantages such
as ease of installation, vibration dampening, and
easy leveling. They also make it easier to relocate
the machine later on.
The disadvantage of machine mounts is that the
machine can shift or move over time. For this
reason, electrical codes may limit their use if
the machine is hardwired to the power source.
A
lso, mounts may reduce the total surface area
of machine-to-floor contact, depending on the
design of the machine.
