changing the blade or making any other repair or adjustment to the saw.
1. Visually inspect machine for hidden shipping damage.
2. As part of the receiving inspection, check for broken ball
bearings on the bearing carrier assembly. This is the assem-

for shipping. You must mount the rail on the machine table before using the saw.

bly that the saw swivels on for miter cuts. CHECK ALL SIX
BEARINGS. Two are located in the groove under the
degree plate. See illustration on page 4.

NOTE: Model 1800 only – before raising the head on the
Model 1800, remove the head weight adjustment handwheel and install the 6021 T-Nut. Attach the threaded
vertical support bar (6022) tightly to the rear of the drive
housing. See the chart on page 8. Adjust, if needed, to
square blade with the vertical table.
1. Pull hydraulic pin at bottom of hydraulic. Disengage compensating spring assembly. Head is now free to raise to vertical position. Raise head up and over center. Hold head
and gently let it move up to vertical position. DON’T LET
THE HEAD DROP! See illustration on page 8, or video.
Removing and Replacing Blade
Call 1-800-383-5547 for experienced help in selecting the
proper saw blades for your application.
1. Disconnect power supply cord from power source.
2. Raise saw head assembly until blade clears the back of the
table. Close hydraulic valve to lock in position.
3. Open the covers of the idler and drive wheels.
4. Pivot the chip brush to horizontal position and lock in place.
5. Loosen blade tension T-handle sufficient to release the blade
around the wheels. Pull blade out of the blade guide bearings.
6. Brush chips from blade guide bearings and housings. Wipe
bearing surfaces clean. Check that all bearings are running free.
7. Check that the guide bearings are set correctly for the new
blade thickness. Use a feeler gauge that is one thousandth of
an inch thicker than the blade. This is the best method because
it does not rely on judgement.
A saw blade can also be used as a gauge, but it must be new.
After the blade has been installed and under proper tension,
check for proper spacing. Twist the blade at the idler and drive
wheel side of the respective guide bearing housings. There
should not be any noticeable motion of the blade on the other
side of the guide bearings. Reset the gap to correct fit.
8. Place the new blade over the idler and drive wheels with the
teeth facing toward you. The blade should run under the
guides. The teeth should point out toward you and the tips of
the teeth should point toward the motor end of the saw.
A fast check is to compare the blade (as you place it over the
idler wheel) with the decal on the top of the saw head. Check
to make sure the blade is on both orange wheels.
2. Slide the vertical saw table into the blade and against the
back of the horizontal table. Secure with the screwless vise
or C-clamps. Adjust the drive end of the blade guide assembly, if necessary, to provide support for that end of the vertical table.
3. Attach the vertical blade guard on the moveable guide arm
and secure with wing nut supplied.
4. Position moveable arm as close to work as possible.
9. By turning the T-Handle, apply tension to the blade until all
slack is removed from the blade or the blade is pulled in a
straight line across the top of the saw from wheel to wheel.
Grasp the blade on each side of the guides and twist the
blade. Push down on the teeth with your thumbs and roll the
back of the blade between the guide bearings. Proper tension
is 1-1/2 to 2 full turns (360) of the T-Handle.
10. Proper blade tension is reached by grasping the T-Handle and
applying one full turn (360) on the tension handle. You can
use the casting number on the handle as a reference point.
Reconnect the power supply. Turn the saw on for a couple of
revolutions to square the blade on the wheels. Turn the saw
off. Now put the second full turn of tension on the T-Handle.
Turn the saw on again for a few revolutions. Turn the saw
off. Check the tracking of the blade on the wheels. On saws
with a 9" wheel the blade runs centered on the wheels. On
saws with 12" and 14" wheels the teeth of the blade should
be sticking out past the edge of the wheel. The teeth should
not be on the rubber of the idler or drive wheels. If the blade
is not tracking properly then the idle wheel needs to be
adjusted. If you think the idle wheel needs to be adjusted, call
the factory at 1-800-383-5547 for assistance.
11. Check the blade tension by setting the guide housings about
8" apart then grasp the blade between the fingers and thumb
halfway between the guide housings. With a rotating or
twisting motion of the hand the blade should deflect no more
than 1/8".
A video is available showing the proper procedure for
removing and replacing blades, saw adjustments, troubleshooting and maintenance. If you did not receive a
video with this machine or would like another copy, call
the factory.

I NSTALLATION& OPERATION
Troubleshooting Crooked Cuts
1. Check blade for worn or broken teeth and replace if needed.
2. Check to make sure that the number of teeth per inch on the
blade fit the application. As a rule, only 6 to 12 teeth should
be in contact with the workpiece.
3. Check the head pressure on the saw. The compensating
spring tension should be 8 pounds with the blade 1" above
the table, coming down with the hydraulic valve open.
4. Check the blade tension. Review the proper blade tension
procedure under “Removing and Replacing Blade” on page
5, item 10.
5. Check the space between bearings of both guide bearing
assemblies. It should be only .001" over the thickness of a
Saw Adjustments
(If above steps did not eliminate crooked cuts)
1. Squaring blade with back of saw table.
Raise the head up 1/8" and hold in place with the hydraulic
valve. Place a 6" square against the table back and move the
head until the blade is exactly 90 degrees from the table
back. Lock the head in position. Check that the POINTER
points to zero (0 degrees) on the degree plate. If the pointer
does not point to zero, bend the pointer so that it lines up to
0 degrees. The saw is now adjusted to cut from front to back
accurately at 90 degrees and at all angles.
2. Square blade with top of saw table.
Use a blade aligning tool of the “clip on” or magnetic type to
attach to the blade. Set a 6" square on the table top with the
blade vertical and touching the aligning tool. These test
new blade. As an example, a .033" feeler gauge would be
used to set the guides for a .032" thick blade.
6. Check the blade tracking on the idler and drive wheels.
9" solid wheels: blade in center of wheels
12" spoked wheels: 3/4" wide blade should have teeth
protruding from the side of the wheel about 1/8", and
the 1" wide blade about 1/4".
14" spoked wheels: 1" and 1-1/4" wide blades should
have teeth protruding 1/4" to 5/16" from side of wheel.
7. Check to make sure that the blade guide assemblies are not
too far apart. Set the idler blade guide closer to the work to
provide greater support for the blade.
measurements should be made with the tools kept as close as
possible to the guide bodies. If the blade is not square with
the table, the guide bearing plate needs to be adjusted to
bring the blade into alignment. See illustration of Blade
Guide Assembly on page 2.
First the wing nut, Item 9 in the illustration, must be loosened. Next, loosen nut, Item 13. The adjustment to the bearing plate is set using the cap screw, Item 14. If the adjustment requires that the cap screw be backed out, the adjustment stud, Item 2, must be manually pushed so it is in contact with the cap screw. When the blade is aligned parallel
with the square, tighten the wing nut to lock the bearing
plate in position. Hold the cap screw from turning and lock
nut, Item 13, against the guide clamping bolt.
The V-belt must be changed on the pulleys to change speeds.
For HIGH speed, place the belt in the largest pulley on the
motor shaft and the smallest on the reducer shaft.
Replacement of Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic cylinder can be filled on the saw or in a bench
vise.
THE SHAFT MUST BE FULLY PUSHED IN BEFORE
STARTING TO FILL.
A good clean machine is easy to operate and promotes safety.
1. Keep areas clean by brushing chips from table grooves,
guide bodies, idler and drive wheels, pivot shaft hinge area
and turntable grooves.
2. Oilite bushings in pivot shaft should be oiled annually.
Blade Speeds
For MEDIUM speed, the middle pulley is used on both shafts.
For LOW speed, the smallest pulley on the motor shaft is used
with the largest on the reducer.
1. Remove pipe plug from near top of cylinder.
2. Fill with light weight hydraulic oil until oil flows back out of
hole. Replace pipe plug.
Maintenance
3. Check oil level in hydraulic. Proper level is at pipe plug hole.
4. Oil in wormgear should be checked every 90 days. FILL TO
PROPER LEVEL AT PLUG, BELOW THE BREATHER
VENT, using 80 to 140 weight gear oil.
