ASSEMBLY

-14-

The drop foot must be adjusted to hold the
workpiece against the table during cutting oper-
ations. The front of the drop foot also acts as a
blade guard, preventing the operator’s fingers
from coming into contact with the blade.

To adjust the drop foot, do these steps:

1.

Loosen the drop foot lock knob (

Figure 8).

2.

Adjust the drop foot so it makes contact
with the workpiece.

3.

Retighten the drop foot lock knob.

The bottom face of the drop foot must always
be parallel to the top face of the table.

UNPLUG the power cord
before you do any assem-
bly or adjustment tasks!
Otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury to you or oth-
ers may occur!

Figure 8. Upper saw adjustments.

of the drop foot rod (

Figure 8).

2.

Adjust the sawdust blower to the desired
position.
