ASSEMBLY:

Front Fence Bar

The front fence bar must be fastened to the front

edge of the saw table with three (3) slotted head
screws, No. 10, spacers, No. 11, lock washers, Noo 12,

and hex nuts, No. 13. See Fig. 2.

Before -tightening the screws securely, the fence

If the insert is not flush with the table top proceed

as follows:

1+ Remove insert from table.

2. Bend tabs slightly away from top side.
3_ Replace insert in+table+

4. Place a piece of hard wood over one tab and
hammer carefully until insert is flush with table
at that spot°

Repeat process on remainder of tabs until insert
and table are completely flush+

Note: If insert is too high to start with, eliminate

•steps 1, 2 and 3.

MOUNTING MOTOR:

Place the Motor Pulley, Nee 66, on the Motor Shaft

with the hub side turned away from the motor. Bolt
the motor to the Motor Support Bracket, No. 25, with

bolts, washers, and nuts supplied° Position the motor
pulley so the groove is in 1ine with the groove of the
saw pulley when the Guide Pin, No. 31, is through
the slot in the Motor Rail Guide, Nor 28r The motor

shaft should be flush with or extend beyond the
pulley hub when belt alignment is established+ Se-

curely tighten motor pulley set screw onto key+

Install the V-belt, No. 64_ Adjust motor toward

or away from saw to insure belt clearance at the
two extreme positions+ They are: Blade at 90 ° and

fully raised-and-blade tilted to 10 ° and in the
extreme down position.

_NSTALLATION OF SAW:

There are four 7/16 diameter holes provided in the

saw base through which bolts or screws should be
inserted to fasten the too! securely to a well built
work bench° A large hole in the bench below the
blade will allow the sawdust to escape+

CHECK BEFORE OPERATION:

1. The belt must have proper tension and align-

ment.

2. Be sure the teeth of the blade point to the front
of the saw_

3+ Be sure motor rotation--CLOCKWISE--when

viewed from pulley is correct.

MOTOR:
For general home workshop use, a _,_ horespower,

3450 R+P.M+ motor will provide adequate speed and
power° For continued heavy duty use, a 1 horse-

power, 3450 R.P.M. motor is recommended_

SPEED:
Using the specified motor pulley, No+ 66, a 3450

SPRING

MOTOR

R P.M. motor will drive the saw at the recommended

speed - 3900 R.P°Mo

LUBRICATION:

The precision ball bearing assembly used on the saw
arbor has been packed with lubricant and sealed at

the factory+ It should require no further lubrication

for the life of the bearing assembly°

To maintain the smooth, easy operation of the con-

trols, oil the following points occasionally:

I. The Guide, No, 55, at the front of the arbor

support.

2+ The Guide Ways of the Front and Rear Trun-

nions, Nos. 32, 82°

3, The Motor Rail, No+ 26.

Occasionally Lubricate the gear teeth on Items

32, 46, and 90 with a good grade of cup grease.

CONTROLS:

The Control Knob raises the saw blade from 0 to 3

inches above the table when pushed in and turned.

It tl]ts the saw blade 0 to 45 degrees when pulled

out and turned+

The Angle of Tilt is shown by a Pointer on the scale

just below the Control Knob+ It should indicate 0

degrees when the blade is at right angles to the
Table Top (See ADJUSTMENTS).

CAUTION:

This saw has an extra long spindle for greater dado
capacity+

If the blade is raised more than 2 13/16 inches the

spindle will strike the table when the saw blade is

tilted,

For various other cutting devices, check spindle

clearance at 45 degrees tilt before operating tool,

ADJUSTMENTS:

The foIlowing items may require adjustment due to

rough handling during shipment,

The Blade Tilt Stop Screw, Nod 94, located just

behind the Front Trunnion on the left side of the
body casting, stops the Tilt mechanism when the
blade is at right angles to the table. Adjust if nec-
essary.

The Pointer and Scale were set at the factory.

Should adjustment be necessary, follow the procedure
outlined below:

1+ Elevate blade to maximum cut, 3 inches.

2. Check blade with combination square and set
perpendicular to the table top°

3. Pointer should indicate 0 degrees° If it does
not, adjust pointer by loosening the screw, No.

38, holding the pointer to the mechanism, and
set to 0 degrees°

4. Tilt blade to 45 degrees_ Check with combina-
tion square. Pointer should indicate 45 degrees

on scale.

5. If it does not, loosen the two screws in the scale,

one turn.

6. Move the scale up or down until both 0 degree

and 45 degree marks are properly positioned

under pointer. Re-tighten screws in scale°

The Blade Must Be Parallel with the Miter Slots in

the Table to Get a Straight Cut+ (See Fig. 5).

Adiustment, if necessary, may be macle as follows:

1. Raise the blade to 3 inches depth of cut and
set at right angle (0 degrees) to table.
