You are now the owner of one of the finest Bench
Saws on the market today. Efficient design, precision

machining, and careful inspection have been com-
bined to give you a tool which will produce top

quality work--the ideal of every craftsman. Quiet,
long-life porous bronze bearings are mounted in the
rugged cast iron base which fully encloses the saw

blade. The strong, accurately ground, oversize table
tilts and locks at any angle from 0 to 45 degrees.

In its price class we feel that your bench saw is

unequaled in quality, service and convenience of

operation.

ASSEMBLING:

Saw Blade

Remove the table insert _33424, the spindle ntit
X-401 and the outside saw clamp washer 18444 from

the saw spindle.

Remove the blade carefully from the folder in

whic_ it is packed. Be sure that the blade and both

saw cramp washers are clean. Place the blade on the
spindle with one of the saw clamp washers on either

side.

The recessed face of the clamp washer should be

against the blade.

The teeth at the top of the blade must point to-

ward the front of the saw.

Install the spindle nut and tighten it securely

against the clamp washer.

Replace the table insert.

Guard and Spfitter

You will find a pin projecting from the side of the
splitter. Place this pin in the hole at the rear of the

table support :#:33270. Use a straight-edge to line

the splitter up with the saw blade and tighten the

set screw securely.

Rip Fence
Loosen the rip fence clamp and lock knob. Slide

the front end of the fence onto the guide bar as

shown. The back end of the fence should grip the
protruding lip of the rear fence guide bar.

Miter Gage

Place the miter gage on the table with the bar resting

in the miter slot.

LUBRICATION:

Before operating the saw remove the two oil plugs
over the spindle bearings and fill the oil reservoirs
with a good grade automobile engine oil SAE :_30.
Use a pressure type can or one with a small spout to
displace the air and fill the reservoirs completely.
Cheek and refill if necessary after the tool has been

run for half an hour.

The porous bronze bearings absorb the oil from

the reservoirs, filter it, and feed it to the spindle

as needed.

Check the reservoirs regularly and keep them full
of oil. Apply oil occaslonally to the following moving
and sliding parts to maintain the smooth easy opera-
tion of your Saw.
