Before discarding packing material and paper_
examine them carefhtly fO_ loose parts.

C_ean all 1oose parts carefullyo Adjustments are

carefully checked before the saw is shipped_ but
rough handling in transk may nccasionMly make

a readjustment necessary_ The best results wiil be
obtained by assembling and checking in the fol-

lowing order:

I. Remove two screws (part So1241_ Fig. No0 3)

amd insert (part 615I, Fig:. No,. 3), &eck tightness
of saw arbor nut_ using the arbor wrench (part
3540, Fig. No. 4). Replace insert amd screws.
The saw blade sbou/d be paralIel to the mitre gage
slots in the table. If realignment of the saw blade

2. Place the Rip Fence ':'F" on the saw table

as ill_trated in Fig. No, 1o The Rip Fence Kuob

"G" must be pulled out to permit the guide to
slide over the Rack "J'L A slight pressure must
be exerted upon the rip fence to cause it to seat
proper[>" on the rack. This pressure is necessary to
overcome a pressure exerted by the two alignment
bar springs (part Sd230_ Fig. No. 3.) which act on

the inner lip of the rack to hold the {ence in con+
tiuuous al{g_ment. If any part of the Rip Fence

Rip Fence and the top of the table varies appre-
ciably as the fence is moved across the: table_ the

ha& *_J" should be readjusted parallel with the

tame top to provide the proper clearance, This ad-

justment may be made by loosening the four

screws (part S_203_ Fig. No0 3) which secure the
rack m the table_ Retighten after the prefer adjust-

meat has been made° Place the Rip Fence next to

ekber of the mitre gage slots and damp ia place

by pushi_g down on cam clamp lever "H'0 If the

ter Made damp washers may be incr_sed or de-
creased by tightening or loosening the cap screw

(part S-I090_ Fig. No. 4) which secures the washers
to the cradle. The position of the splitter blade

clamp washers may be changed_ if n_essary, by
varying the number of flat washers (parts S-970
and S-i066_ Fig, No. 4) mounted between _e
damp washers and the cradle, er blade

_aw arbor, Install "V" belt over pulleys and adjust
belt tensloa by moving the motor support elth_
in oe out until the belt is snug, keep_g ia mlnd
that the motor should be allowed to fall back against
the belt to obtain the automatic belt tlghten_g

square head set screws (part S-207, Fig. No_ 3).

If the saw is to be driven by a very large me{or

which cannot be mounted on the motor support
provided_ the motor should be mounted oa a lions.

ing rait_ and a _-inch wide belt Mth a m_im_
length of 80 inch_ should be used. The posltion

of the motor should be adjusted until _e belt
