Lower Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the lower elevation limit stop, remove the blade from the arbor, open the motor cover,
and remove the dust shroud door as described on page 20. While watching the arbor block through the motor
cover opening, turn the elevation hand wheel counter-clockwise until the bottom of the arbor block just touches
the rubber bumper mounted on the trunnion brace (see Fig. 69).
The purpose of the bumper is to absorb
the energy of the arbor block when the
arbor block retracts below the table
upon activation of the safety system.
As shown in Fig. 69, the lower elevation
limit stop should be adjusted so that the
arbor block compresses the bumper
about 1 /
4
inch at the lowest elevation.
This should also ensure that a 10 inch
blade is at least
1 /
8
inch below the top
of the table.
Lower the blade elevation until the lower
limit stop is engaged. If the bumper is
compressed about 1 /
4
inch, no further
adjustment is necessary.
The lower elevation limit stop is set
by the bolt mounted in the upper front
portion of the elevation plate (see
Fig. 68). The head of the bolt is painted
yellow for easy identification. To adjust
the position of the lower limit bolt, first
loosen the locking nut and back it off several turns. If you plan to adjust the limit stop downward, turn the bolt
counterclockwise several turns.
Next, set the blade elevation to the correct minimum height. Turn the lower limit bolt clockwise until it is tight.
Finally, turn the locking nut clockwise until it is tight. The lower elevation limit stop has now been set.
