Making Adjustments to Your Saw

Upper Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the upper elevation limit stop,

set the blade tilt to 0°, install a 10 inch saw blade

on the arbor (see page 29), and turn the elevation

handwheel clockwise until the limit stop is reached.

Using a combination square or similar tool, measure

the distance from the top of the table to the tip of

the highest tooth on the blade (see Fig. 82). The

maximum height of the blade above the table should

be 3

1

8

inches. If the blade is 3

3

16

inches or higher

above the table, the upper elevation limit stop should

be adjusted downward. If the blade is less than 3

1

8

inches above the table, you can adjust the limit stop

upward to 3

1

8

inches. Alternatively, you can adjust the

limit stop so that the maximum blade height is lower

than 3

1

8

inches.

The upper elevation limit stop is fixed by the set screw in the cast iron table top located to the left of the rear

of the table opening (see Fig. 83). The upper elevation limit bolt can be adjusted with the included 3 mm hex

key.

To lower the maximum blade elevation, adjust the

elevation handwheel until the blade elevation is set to

the correct maximum height. Thread the set screw in

clockwise until it is tight. To raise the maximum blade

elevation, begin by turning the set screw counter-

clockwise about one complete revolution. Then, adjust

the elevation handwheel until the blade elevation is set

to the correct maximum height. If the upper elevation

limit stop prevents you from raising the blade to the

desired maximum elevation, continue to turn the

set screw counter-clockwise until the blade can be

raised to the correct elevation. Once the blade is set

to the correct maximum elevation, turn the set screw

clockwise until it is tight. The upper elevation limit has

now been set.

Adjusting the Elevation Limit Stops

The upper elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block and the motor belt from hitting the underside of the

table. The lower elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block or blade from hitting the lower trunnion assembly

and dust shroud. The elevation limit stops must be adjusted correctly to ensure proper operation of the saw.
