BACKLASH ADJUSTMENTS
Disconnect machine from power source.
After a period of extended use, if any play is detected
in the blade raising or blade tilting mechanisms, remove
the blade and make the following adjustments:
ADJUSTING BLADE RAISING MECHANISM - Loosen
locknut (A) Fig. 38, and turn eccentric sleeve (B) until
all play is removed. Tighten locknut (A) while holding
sleeve in place.
ADJUSTING BLADE TILTING MECHANISM - Loosen
locknut (C) Fig. 38, and turn eccentric sleeve (D) until
all play is removed. Tighten locknut (C) while holding
sleeve in place.
Blade alignment is factory set and
should not need adjustment. Adjusting
blade alignment is a difficult and time-consuming
procedure. All saw blades have some run-out.
Therefore, re-adjusting blade alignment should only
be attempted if it becomes necessary. (See "checking
blade alignment.")
Disconnect machine from power source.
1. Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert.
With a 1/2 ″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and
rear trunnion mounting bolts. NOTE: Two trunnion
mounting bolts (E) Fig. 37 are shown as looking up
inside side of saw.
2. Move the trunnion assembly in the desired direction.
Tap gently with rubber mallet if necessary.
3. To check blade alignment, follow section “CHECKING
BLADE ALIGNMENT” procedure until proper
alignment is achieved. Tighten 4 trunnion bolts (E)
Fig. 37.
4. Check blade alignment again after tightening bolts
to confirm alignment. If alignment is off, loosen
the 4 trunnion bolts (E) and repeat the above steps
until proper alignment is achieved with bolts fully
tightened.
5. Install table insert, blade guard, and lower blade
before reconnecting power source.
