ASSEMBLY
Assembly is best done in the area where the saw will
be used. When you remove the saw and hardware
from the packing materials, carefully check the items
with the Loose Parts list. If you are unsure about the
description of any part, refer to their illustrations. For
your convenience, all fasteners have been drawn
actual size. If any parts are missing, delay assembling
until you have obtained the missing part(s).
Your radiai arm saw is capable of a wide variety of
operations, and thus requires a number of initiai setup
adjustments. However, once the saw is set up, you
can check your saw in about ten minutes and correct
any misalignment with the procedures in the Adjust­
ment section.
CAUTION: Perform ail the procedures in both
the Assembly and Adjustments sections before
using the saw. Run a check on your saw
frequently, referring to the Adjustments section.
Failure to perform the adjustments in the initiai
set up or on a frequent basis can result in poor
performance or machine damage.
