Make sure the voltage of your power supply

matches the specifications on the motor plate of

the machine.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the

cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on

the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.

The chart in Figure 11 shows the correct size

cord to use based on cord length and motor

plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next

heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number

the heavier the cord.

Adjustments

Blade Raising and Tilting

The front handwheel (A, Figure 12) controls the

raising and lowering of the blade. The side

handwheel (B, Figure 12) controls blade tilt,

which is indicated by the scale (C, Figure 12).

The lock knobs (D, Figure 12) are used to lock

the setting of the handwheels.

Miter Slot Alignment

Disconnect machine from

power source before making this

adjustment.

1. To check the alignment of the mitre slot to

the blade, raise the blade to its maximum

height at the 0 degree (vertical) position.

2. Mark one tooth with a grease pencil and

position the tooth slightly above the top

edge of the table at the front.

3. Raise the miter gauge slightly out of its slot

to serve as a shoulder. Using a combination

square against the side of the bar, slide the

scale over until it touches the tip of the

blade, and lock the scale in position. See

Figure 13.

4. Rotate the marked tooth so that it is slightly

above the table top at the rear and, using

the square as before, check whether the

distance to the blade is the same. See

Figure 14. If the distance is not the same,

loosen the three mounting screws that lock

the table to the cabinet (two in front, one in

back) as shown in Figure 15, and nudge the

table to bring the miter slot in line with the

blade.
