SXC ADJUSTMENT

A BLADE TENSION HANDLE – Used to remove and install saw blade. Also used to set

the correct blade tension – Be sure blade is tight.

B&C UPPER BLADE WHEEL CONT ADJUSTMENT – If your saw should get out of

adjustment and the blade runs off the wheel or runs back against the lip, loosen the two
bottom bolts on the wheel slide (B) Turn the set screw (C) in or out to make the blade
run approximately
wheel slide bolts. IMPORTANT: If the blade is allowed to run against the lip on the

wheel it will wear the lip off.

D GUIDE BAR LOCK – Used to lock the roll guides in position.

E ROLL GUIDES – Should be adjusted so they clear your work by approximately ½”. This

will insure maximum blade rigidity.

F STOP CLAMP – Has two uses: 1) The stop clamp can be set for depth of cut. 2) The

stop clamp, if placed behind the neck, will lock the frame in a forward position for
contour work.

G ANGLE PLATE – Used to hold stock in place for cutting. Graduations are provided to

set angle cuts.

H C-CLAMP – Used mainly for round stock. Flat stock needs no clamping.

I COUNTERWEIGHT – Used to maintain the blade pressure you desire.

J HYDRAULIC CYLINDER – This should be adjusted to allow the frame to travel rapidly

but not free fall. This is a safety device and should be kept properly adjusted.
