7. When the splitter is properly aligned with the saw
blade, tighten the bolt securely.
NOTE: The splitter bracket must always be
correctly aligned so the cut workpiece will pass
on either side without binding or twisting.
A WARNING
See Fig. 1-1 flat washer (11) must be under knob
(12). NOTE: Be sure to tighten knob very tight and
periodicaily check tightness.
Fig. 1-1
AVOID KICKBACKS (FIG. J)
(Work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade
sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by
keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards
in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work
before passing it completely beyond the saw blade. Do
not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide it along the fence. Do not attempt
to reverse out of a cut with the blade running.
A WARNING
Improper splitter alignment can cause “kickback”
and serious injury.
INSTALLING RIGHTSIDE TABLE EXTENSION WING
(FIG. K)
1. Insert the two extension mounting tubes (3) into the
side table extension wing (2).
NOTE; Make sure the front mounting tube has the
measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.
2. Insert the screws (1) through the mounting tubes (3)
into the side table extension wing (2).
INSTALLING TABLE SIDE EXTENSIONS (FIG. L, L-1)
1. Identify the right hand table extension.
NOTE: For illustration purposes the view in Fig. L
looks “through” the saw table to the under side of the
table. The right hand table extension is the one with
the measuring scale visible from the front of the saw
when it is installed to the right hand side of the saw
table.
2. Unlock both front and rear cam locking levers (4) on
the right hand side of the saw base by flipping the
lever over.
3. insert the table extension mounting tubes (2) into the
two matching holes in the cam lever assemblies.
NOTE: Make sure the front mounting tube has the
measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.
4. Slide the table extension toward the table until it rests
against the saw table.
5. Lock both cam locking levers by pushing them in
toward the cam locking lever assemblies.
6. If the extension is not level to the table, adjust by
inserting the spacers (Carton Contents D) between
the extension and the tube it mounts onto. See page 17.
7. Make sure the screw (1) into the matching hole (2)
of the extension mounting tube (3).
8. Install the left hand table extension the same manner
NOTE:
• Make sure the screw (1) into the matching hole (2)
of the extension mounting tube (3) (Fig. L-1).
• For illustration purposes, the view in Fig. L looks
“through” the saw table to the under side of the table.
