MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
The saw mounting brackets are designed to fit
snugly over the table edges with locking levers in
the open position. With the locking levers in the
lowered (locked) position, you should not be able
to slide the saw mounting bracket assembly along
the table edges or remove the bracket assembly
from the table edges. If the saw mounting brackets
will not fit over the edges, or if the brackets can
be removed from the edges when the levers are
locked, remove bracket assembly immediately and
adjust bracket adjustment screw. Failure to heed
this warning may result in serious personal injury.
SAW MOUNTING BRACKET ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 23.
If the saw and bracket assembly can slide over the table
edges or be removed from the table edges when the levers
are locked, the bracket adjustment screws need to be
tightened. If the saw and bracket assembly will not fit over
both table edges, the bracket adjustment screw needs to
be loosened.
NOTE: The saw should be removed from the mounting
brackets before attempting to tighten or loosen the bracket
adjustment screws.
To adjust:
Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
Turn the screw with a phillips screwdriver. Rotate
clockwise if the bracket assembly needs to be tightened
or counterclockwise if the assembly needs to be
loosened.
NOTE: If locking lever on saw mounting bracket cannot
easily be pushed down into the closed position, the
adjustment screw is too tight. Do not force locking lever
into the closed position. Loosen the adjustment screw.
Install the bracket on the front table edge then lower
bracket to allow the rear clamp of the bracket to seat
fully over the rear table edge.
NOTE: The mounting bracket should fit snugly over the
table edges when in the open position.
When the correct position is achieved, wrench-tighten
the nut to secure.
Repeat with the second mounting bracket.
