TO ADJUST THE TABLE:
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF”
position and the cord is unplugged from the
power source.
Loosen the four mounting bolts in the
trunnion mounting locations and slightly tap
the trunnions as needed. When the table is
parallel to the blade, re-tighten the
mounting bolts.
BLADE GUARD SPREADER &
RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT
The blade guard spreader and riving knife
must be aligned with the blade for safe and
accurate cutting operation. If the blade
guard spreader or the riving knife is not
aligned with the blade, the work-piece will
be pushed sideways during operation and
increasing the risk of kick back.
Make sure the switch is “OFF” and check
the spreader or riving knife alignment using
a straight-edge. Raise the blade to the
maximum height using the blade height
hand-wheel. Place the straight edge against
the top and bottom part of the spreader or
riving knife as shown in figure-34.
Figure-34 Using a straight-edge to check
the top and bottom alignment
If the spreader or riving knife is not parallel
with the blade, remove it and place it on a
flat surface. Check if it lays evenly on the
flat surface along its length.
If the spreader or riving knife does not lie
evenly, bend it with your hands until it is
straight.
The spreader or riving knife mounting
position can be adjusted by adjusting the
set screws located on the spreader/riving
knife mounting block.
TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT:
Turn “OFF” the table saw and remove the
cord from the power source.
Remove the table insert and loosen the two
cap screws on the mounting block and
adjust the set screws to move the
spreader/riving knife.
The set screws are to control the top, side
(left & right) and bottom adjustment of the
spreader/riving knife.
Adjust the two side screws to an equal
amount to move the front of the spreader/
riving knife left or right.
Now, check the alignment, using a straight-
edge. Once the spreader/riving knife is in
the correct position, tighten the two cap
screws on the mounting block.
BELT TENSION AND
REPLACEMENT
The belt stretches with use and needs to be
checked and tensioned properly as the
table saw is used.
