too loose, adjust the position of the

motor to provide the correct tension

on the motor belt. If the arbor belt is

too loose, replace it with a new belt.

2. The blade is binding on the wood.

2. Ensure the spreader or riving knife

is aligned with the blade. If using the

rip fence, ensure it is aligned parallel

to the blade.

3. The voltage supplied to the motor is

incorrect.

3. Ensure the power to the terminal box

is the correct voltage and phase.

Also ensure the wiring to the saw

is the correct gauge for the peak

current draw specified for the motor.

counter-clockwise to release the

elevation hand wheel.

There is play in the tilt control so that

revolution without changing

the tilt angle of the blade.

1. The worm gear is not engaged fully

on the front trunnion sector gear.

1. Adjust the position of the tilt control

shaft as necessary to ensure the

worm gear engages fully with the

front trunnion sector gear.

The saw does not make accurate 45°

or 90° cuts.
