MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICING

Handling

Never lift the saw by the upper arm assembly as this

will result in damage to the drivetrain.

Rather lift the saw by the front of the table and by

the motor.

Maintenance

• Always release tension on the blade when the saw is not

in use.

• Clean the saw regularly with a soft bristle brush or by vac-

uuming to keep cutting dust from accumulating.

• An occasional application of a light dab of grease on

the front and rear trunnions (See Fig. 16) will keep the tilt-

ing mechanism working smoothly. If you find the tilting

mechanism becoming more difficult to operate, thor-

oughly wipe off any built-up cutting dust on the trunnions

and re-apply a little grease.

• The bearings in the drive mechanism are sealed and per-

manently lubricated and do not need to be oiled or

greased.

Squaring the blade to the table

Depending on frequency of use and how much the tilting

mechanism is used, normal wear will over time cause the

blade to come slightly out of alignment with the table.

Periodically check the blade for square with the table.When

needed, adjust as described in the following steps to re-

align the blade square to the table.

1. Turn off and unplug the saw.

2. Using the blade tilt controls at the front of the saw, set the

blade angle to read 0 - which is 90° vertical to the table.

3. Set a machinists square on the table and against the

blade to verify the blade angle. (See Fig. 17)

4. If the blade angle requires adjustment loosen the 4 bolts

in the front trunnion as well as the 4 bolts on the rear

trunnions .

5. By hand, move the entire head to bring the blade square

to the table.

6. With the blade square to the table hold the head in posi-

tion and re-tighten the bolts on the front and rear trun-

nions.
