Extension plate
The extension plate (D, Figure 14) can be
adjusted by sliding to the right or left or removed
entirely.
To adjust – loosen two lock handles (E), position
the extension plate and tighten the lock handles.
To remove – slide the extension plate
completely off and remove the lock handles (E)
and mounting hardware.
Calibrating the miter gauge
1. Place the miter gauge in one of the slots (H,
Figure 14) on the table top.
2. Set the miter gauge to 90º (0º setting on the
scale) by loosening the lock handle (A), then
pulling the spring-loaded knob (C) out and
turning the body (B) until 0º is indicated on
the scale (G).
3. Measure the accuracy of the gauge against
the slot with a combination square.
If adjustment is necessary:
4. Adjust the body (B) until it is perfectly
square (90º) to the miter slot (H).
5. Tighten the lock handle (A).
6. Verify that the scale indicator (G) reads 0º. If
further adjustment is necessary:
7. Loosen the screw (F) and adjust the
indicator (G) until it reads 0º
8. Tighten the screw (F).
Removing play in the miter slot
If any “play” occurs between the miter bar and
the table miter slot, tighten one or both set
screws (J) on the miter bar as needed.
Drive Belt
The saw is equipped with a poly-V belt.
Referring to Figure 15:
To adjust the belt tension – loosen the hex nut
(B) on the motor pivot and hex cap screw (A) on
the bracket with a 19mm socket or wrench. Use
the handle (E) to pivot the motor (C) and bracket
to the right to increase the belt tension.
Retighten screw (A) and nut (B).
To remove and replace belt – loosen the hex
nut (B) on the motor pivot and hex cap screw (A)
on the bracket with a 19mm socket or wrench.
Use the handle (E) to pivot the motor (C) and
bracket to the left as far as possible. Remove
the old poly-V belt (D) and replace. Adjust the
belt tension as described above.
