1. Adjusting the Blade Height:
The height of the blade can be adjusted from 1 /
8
inch
below the table top to 3
1 /
8
inch above the table top.
To adjust the height of the blade, loosen the elevation
locking knob and turn the elevation hand wheel until the
blade is at the desired height (see Fig. 27). Turn the
hand wheel clockwise to raise the blade, and counter-
clockwise to lower the blade. Lock the blade height by
tightening the elevation locking knob.
For through-cuts (i.e., cuts where the wood is cut
through its entire thickness), the blade height should be
adjusted so that the top of the blade is no more than
1 /
8
inch to
1 /
4
inch above the workpiece.
The saw includes limit stops to prevent the height of
the blade from being adjusted past the maximum and
minimum setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set at the
factory and should not need adjustment. If you decide
to adjust the blade elevation limit stops, see page 57 for
instructions.
CAUTION! When adjusting the height or tilt angle of the blade, reverse the hand wheel
slightly to release tension after reaching the limit stops. This prevents any slight twisting
of the cast iron assembly that might affect blade parallelism and table alignment.
2. Adjusting the Blade Tilt Angle:
The tilt (bevel) angle of the blade can be adjusted
between 0º and 45º. To adjust the tilt angle of the
blade, loosen the tilt locking knob and turn the
tilt hand wheel until the blade is at the desired
angle. The tilt angle of the blade is indicated by
the position of the tilt angle indicator on the tilt
angle scale (see Fig. 28). Turn the tilt hand wheel
clockwise to increase the tilt angle, and counter-
clockwise to decrease the tilt angle. Lock the tilt
angle by tightening the tilt locking knob.
The saw includes limit stops to prevent the tilt
angle of the blade from being adjusted past the
0º and 45º setpoints. These limit stops are pre-set
at the factory and should not need adjustment. If
you decide to adjust the blade tilt limit stops, see
page 59 for instructions.
