If the saw raising arm has been re-located, the

table may have to be realigned so as to provide

clearance between the saw blade and table

insert slot. The splitter will also have to be

realigned.

NOTE: The saw arm setscrew must be tight to

avoid the possibility of movement which could

cause the blade to hit the insert.

Tilting Mechanism Adjustment

If binding occurs in the tilting mechanism, clean

off the saw dust and pitch accumulation and re-

grease. If binding continues, check the

alignment and readjust as required to center

worm with the worm gear segment on the

trunnion.

If there is excessive play, loosen bracket

mounting screws (A, Figure 23) and turn

adjustment screw (B, Figure 23) clockwise to

raise pinion. A tight mesh without binding is

ideal. Re-tighten mounting screws and check

over the 90 degree to 45 degree range of tilt for

excessive play or binding. Re-adjust if required.

Operating Instructions for

Table Saws

1. Familiarize yourself with the location and

operation of all controls and adjustments

and the use of accessories such as the

miter gauge and rip fence.

2. Serious injury can result from kickbacks

which occur when a work piece binds on the

saw blade or binds between the saw blade

and rip fence or other fixed object. This

binding can cause the work piece to lift up

and be thrown toward the operator. Listed

below are the conditions which can cause

kickbacks:

• Confining the cutoff piece when

crosscutting or ripping.

• Releasing the work piece before

completing the operation or not pushing

the work piece all the way past the saw

blade.

• Not using the splitter when ripping or not

maintaining alignment of the splitter with

the saw blade.

• Using a dull saw blade.

• Not maintaining alignment of the rip

fence so that it tends to angle toward

instead of away from the saw blade

front to back.
