Adjustments Sliding Table Parallel to Blade The position of the sliding table relative to the machine is factory set, but should be checked periodically as the saw receives use. To ensure a clean cut, the sliding table must be set parallel to the saw blade. If adjustment is ever needed, proceed as follows: 1. The bolts (B, Figure 20) are used to adjust the height of the sliding table. They are pre- Figure 20 set at the factory. 2. Use bolts (A, Figure 20) to correct parallelism be

When bevel cutting, make sure the appropriate blade guard has been mounted before operating the saw. Sliding Table Lock When loading panels and when cutting using the rip fence, the sliding table should be locked. To lock the sliding table, pull lever (Figure 24) into one of the slots in the sliding table. Over a long period of time, if many short movements of the sliding table are made (e.g. Figure 24 crosscutting solid wood) then it is possible that the ball carrier between the u

4. Record the measurement in the sight glass. 5. Add 2” to this measurement and slide out the extension until the new measurement is read at the end of the fixed fence (Figure 28). NOTE: Be careful to set this correctly, because the scale on the sliding fence reads opposite the scale on the fixed fence. 6. Lock the extension fence to this new measurement by tightening the knob underneath. 7. With a 3mm hex wrench, loosen the set Figure 28 screws underneath the short movable fence

Loosen the three screws on the scale (Figure 35) and nudge the scale until it matches the cut measurement. Make another cut to confirm the measurement. To avoid the fence contacting the rotating saw blade, the stop ring must be adjusted. Slide the fence to about 10mm from the saw blade. Slide the stop ring across the round guide bar until it comes up against the casting of the fence. Tighten the set screw on the stop ring. Figure 35 Tensioning the Belt To tension the belt on the
