ELEVATION CRANK . . . elevates or lowers the blade.
Turn clockwise to elevate . . . counterclockwise
lower.
to
ELEVATION LOCK . . . locks the blade at the desired
height. PUSH in to LOCK . . . PULL out to unlock.
TILT CRANK . .. tilts the blade for bevel cutting.
Turn clockwise to tilt toward left .. . counterclockwise
to tilt toward right.
When the blade is tilted to the LEFT as far as it will go,
.it should be at 45° to the table and the bevel pointer
should point 45°.
NOTE; There are LIMIT STOPS inside the saw which
prevent the blade from tilting beyond 45° to the LEFT
and 90° to the RIGHT. (See “Adjustments" section
"Blade Tilt, or Squareness of Blade to Table").
5 TILT LOCK KNOB . . . locks the blade in the desired
tilt position. Turn it to the left to unlock ... to the
right to lock.
RIP FENCE ... is locked in place by tightening the
lock handle. To move the fence, loosen the handle and
grasp the fence with one hand at the front.
Holes are provided in the rip fence for attaching a wood
facing when using the dado head, or molding head.
Select a piece of smooth straight wood approx. 3/4 in.
thick and the same size as the rip fence.
Attach it to the fence with three Round Head #10
Wood Screws 2 in. long. To remove the facing, loosen
the screws, slide the facing forward and puli the screws
through the round holes.
WOOD FACING
MITER GAUGE ... head is locked in position for
crosscutting or mitering by tightening the lock handle.
ALWAYS LOCK
IT SECURELY WHEN IN USE.
There are two holes for the stop pin at the 45 degree
right and left positions for conveniently setting the
Miter Gauge to cut miters.
NOTE: The holes for the stop pin and the graduations
are
manufactured to very close tolerances which
provide accuracy for average woodworking. In some
cases where extreme accuracy is required, when making
angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then
rschsck it.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can then be swiveled
slightly to compensate and then locked.
Holes are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
AUXILIARY FACING to make it easier to cut long
pieces.
Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood .. .
drill two holes through it and attach it with small
screws and nuts. The nuts go inside of the miter gauge.
Or drill 1/4 in. holes all the way through the head. Then
you can attach the facing with wood screws.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it
extends to the right of the miter gauge and use the
miter gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.
