Making Adjustments to Your Saw
Upper Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the upper elevation limit stop,
set the blade tilt to 0°, install a 10 inch saw blade
on the arbor (see page 29), and turn the elevation
handwheel clockwise until the limit stop is reached.
Using a combination square or similar tool, measure
the distance from the top of the table to the tip of
the highest tooth on the blade (see Fig. 82). The
maximum height of the blade above the table should
be 3
1
⁄
8
inches. If the blade is 3
3
⁄
16
inches or higher
above the table, the upper elevation limit stop should
be adjusted downward. If the blade is less than 3 1 ⁄
8
inches above the table, you can adjust the limit stop
upward to 3 1 ⁄
8
inches. Alternatively, you can adjust the
limit stop so that the maximum blade height is lower
than 3 1 ⁄
8
inches.
The upper elevation limit stop is fixed by the set screw in the cast iron table top located to the left of the rear
of the table opening (see Fig. 83). The upper elevation limit bolt can be adjusted with the included 3 mm hex
key.
To lower the maximum blade elevation, adjust the
elevation handwheel until the blade elevation is set to
the correct maximum height. Thread the set screw in
clockwise until it is tight. To raise the maximum blade
elevation, begin by turning the set screw counter-
clockwise about one complete revolution. Then, adjust
the elevation handwheel until the blade elevation is set
to the correct maximum height. If the upper elevation
limit stop prevents you from raising the blade to the
desired maximum elevation, continue to turn the
set screw counter-clockwise until the blade can be
raised to the correct elevation. Once the blade is set
to the correct maximum elevation, turn the set screw
clockwise until it is tight. The upper elevation limit has
now been set.
Adjusting the Elevation Limit Stops
The upper elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block and the motor belt from hitting the underside of the
table. The lower elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block or blade from hitting the lower trunnion assembly
and dust shroud. The elevation limit stops must be adjusted correctly to ensure proper operation of the saw.
