Making Adjustments to Your Saw

Upper Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the upper elevation limit stop, install a 10 inch saw blade on the arbor (see page 17),

and turn the elevation hand wheel 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. 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 set by the

bolt mounted in the lower front portion of

the elevation plate (see Fig. 62). You can

access the upper limit bolt by opening

the motor cover. The head of the bolt is

painted yellow for easy identification. To

adjust the position of the upper limit bolt,

first loosen the locking nut and back it

off several turns. If you plan to adjust the

limit stop upward, turn the bolt counter-

clockwise several turns.

Next, set the blade elevation to the

correct maximum height. Turn the upper

limit bolt clockwise until it is tight. Finally,

turn the locking nut clockwise until it is

tight. The upper elevation limit stop has

now been set.

4. Adjusting the Elevation Limit Stops:

The upper elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block and belts from hitting the underside of the table. The

lower elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block or blade from hitting the lower trunnion assembly. The

elevation limit stops must be adjusted correctly to ensure proper operation of the saw.
