3. If it does not, loosen lock handle (B - Figure
32).
4. Loosen locknut (E), and adjust the stop
screw, (A), so it strikes the stop link (D)
when the gauge is at 90 degrees.
5. Retighten both the locknut (E) and lock
handle (B).
Aligning Splitter to Blade
The splitter assembly must
be aligned with the saw blade to help prevent
kickback.
1. Lay a straight edge against the saw blade
and the splitter as shown in Figure 34.
2. If splitter and blade do not line up, loosen
the lower screws on the splitter mounting
bracket (D, Figure 35) and the lower screws
on the inside splitter mounting plate (E,
Figure 35).
(NOTE: This adjustment is more easily
performed with the aid of a helper since the
mounting plate screws are adjusted from the
underside of the saw. A socket wrench with
extension may be necessary to loosen the
two screws).
3. When adjustment is finished, tighten all
screws.
Make sure the blade guard
and splitter are parallel with the table miter
slots to prevent binding.
Aligning Miter Slot to Blade
1. If the blade is not aligned with the miter slot
in the table, loosen the screws on the
trunnion brackets (#17 and #54 - see page
34) and bump the table as needed with a
rubber mallet, until the miter slot and blade
are aligned.
2. Re-tighten screws securely when finished.
