ELEVATION HANDWHEEL . . . elevates or
lowers the blade, Turn clockwise to elevate...
counterclockwise to lower.
NOTE: Any time sawbiade has been elevated
to 2-5/8 inches or higher above the table it will
be necessary to lower the blade by turning the
elevation handwheel 5 turnscounterclockwise
before tilting to bevel.
3 TILT HANDWHEEL .. tilts the blade for bevel
cutting. Turn clockwise to tilt toward left. ..
counterclockwise to tilt toward vertical.
When ihe blade is tilted to the LEFT as far as it
will go. it should be at 45° to the table andthe
bevel indicator should point 45°.
NOTÉ: There are LIMIT STOPS on the saw
which prevent the blade from tilting beyond
45 ° to the LEFT and 90° to the BIGHT. (See
“Adjustments” section "Blade Tilt, or
Squareness of Blade to Table").
4 TILT LOCK HANDLE ... locks the blade in the
desired tilt position. To loosen, turn
counterclockwise. Push handle in and turn itto
another position if necessary in order to
tighten or loosen.
IMPORTANT: Be sure handle Is hanging In the
“DOWN” position before tilting blade, if it is
pointing to the 1 o'clock position It may jam on
underside of the table and bend the locking
bolt.

RIP FENCE :.
. is locked in place by tightening
the lock knob. To move the fence, loosen the
knob 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.
Sélect a piece ofsmoothstraightwood approx.
3/4" thick, at least as long as the rip fence, and
........ at least 7-1/2" wide (high) to permit clamping
of featherboardSv^ ^ ^ ^ ^
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 pull the screws through the round
holes.
If you are making a rip type cut in material
thinner than 3/16 in. while the fence is
positioned over the depressed area of table
extension, the facirig should be attached to the
fence so that the bottom edge touches the top
surface of the extension, In this case, the
...... facing must be shorter than the fence. This will
prevent thin material from sliding under the rip
" '■ ■ fence., ^........ . . . . .
WOOD FACING
S MITER GAUGE ... head is locked in position
for crosscutting or nnitering by tightening the
lock knob. ALWAYS LOCK IT SECURELY
WHEN IN USE.
There are slots for the stop pin at the 45 degree
right and left positions for conveniently setting
the Miter Gauge to cut miters.
NOTE: The slots 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 angie cuts,
for example, make a trial cut and then recheck
it.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can then be
swiveled slightly to compensate and then
locked.
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for
attaching an AUXILIARY FACING to make it
easier to cut long pieces. Be positive facing
does not interfere with the proper operation of
the sawbiade guard.
Select a suitable piece of smooth straight
wood . . . drill two holes and attach it with
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.
