Blade Brush
The brush should be cleaned frequently in
kerosene and reversed to extend effectiveness. For
efficient cutting and blade life, keep blade brush
adjusted so it has contact with the blade teeth at all
times. Replace it as needed.
Motor Overload
The motor starter has a voltage overload to de-
energize the circuit if an overload occurs. To
restart the motor, you need to push the reset
button.
To stop the saw at any time,
press the stop button or
press down on the limit switch actuator

Blade Guide Adjustment
To properly align the saw blade for a straight and
accurate cut, do the following:
1. Square the stationary vise jaw. Make sure it is
square to the front of the vise slot. Check by
placing a combination square against the front of
the vise slot in the saw bed. Slide the square
toward the stationary vise. Make any necessary
adjustment to the vise jaw to bring it into square.
Set the combination square so that one leg is
along the face of the stationary vise and check to
see that the blade is square to the vise jaw. If it is
not square, follow the instructions for horizontal
adjustment.
2. Vertical Adjustment. The back of the saw blade
should just touch the carbide back up guide (item
15 in the parts drawing) when the saw is running
but not cutting. To adjust, loosen the two cap
screws [A] and move the block up or down as
required. (Before making this adjustment, be sure
the back of the blade is properly contacting the
flange on both the drive and idle wheels).
3. Horizontal Adjustment. Loosen the two cap
screws [B] securing the horizontal adjusting block
(items 11 & 12 of the parts drawing). Turn the top
adjusting bolt (item 13 of the parts drawing) to
move the blade either in, toward the saw bed, or
out, away from the saw bed. Normally, the blade
comes off the Drive Wheel with a minimum amount
of adjustment needed in the Horizontal Adjusting
Block. The Idle End adjusting block is more likely
to require adjustment.
4. Blade Tilt. To ensure the blade is perpendicular
to the bed of the saw, loosen the two cap screw [C]
holding the Guide Support (28 & 29 of the parts
drawing) and turn the bottom adjusting bolt (13 of
the parts drawing).
Set the combination square on the saw bed with the
end of the rule butted against the blade above the set
of the teeth. Use a 1-1/2 thousandths (.0015") shim
and slide it along the top and bottom edge of the rule
where it meets the saw blade. If the shim slides
between the blade and the rule at either the top or
bottom, the blade guides must be adjusted.
5. Safety. Ensure that all bolts are properly
tightened and that all guards are in place before
using the saw.
