Saw Blade Removal and Installation
Saw blade removal and installation is covered on page 19.
Front Pointer Adjustment
The front pointer wheel has been set at the factory. Use these
procedures only if the pointer is suspect of being out of alignment.
3. Adjust the front pointer wheel so it just touches the side of the
straightedge or level.
4. Remove the straightedge or level.
5. Position the front pointer and blade directly over the chalk
line.
6. Start the saw and lower the blade onto the chalk line.
7. Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line
as closely as possible.
8. The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not,
adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts
on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the
blade.
Chassis Lubrication
■
Blade Shaft Bearings - Two zerk fittings are located at
the lower-front area of the saw. Lubricate before daily
use. Use a good quality automotive or general purpose
grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under
heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can
damage the grease seals which can result in bearing
exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten
the life of the bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto
the cutting surface.
NOTE
1. Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting
surface.
2. Use a 4 foot straightedge or level by placing it flat against the
blade.
