7. Lift the motor and assemble the drive belt (H) Fig. 19 to the arbor pulley and motor pulley (B). The weight of the motor will provide the correct belt tension. 8. IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASSEMBLING THE BELT, RAISE THE SAW BLADE TO ITS MAXIMUM HEIGHT AND TILT THE SAW BLADE TO 45°. CHECK TO SEE IF THE MOTOR (J) FIG. 20 IS BELOW THE TOP OF THE TABLE SURFACE (K). IF THE MOTOR (J) IS ABOVE THE TOP OF THE TABLE SURFACE, MOVE THE MOTOR TO THE LEFT UNTIL THE END OF THE MOTOR (J) IS BELOW THE TOP OF THE TABLE SURFACE.
ASSEMBLING AND ALIGNING BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY A B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Fasten the rear splitter mounting bracket (A) Fig. 24, to the rear trunnion using the two 1/4-20 x 3/4" hex head bolts (B) and flat washers. Do not completely tighten the two bolts (B) at this time. 2. Raise saw arbor to its highest position. With wrenches supplied, remove the saw blade from the saw. Refer to section “CHANGING THE SAW BLADE” of this manual.
5. If alignment is necessary, loosen the two screws (F) Fig. 27, align bracket (D) with the arbor flange (E), and tighten screws (F). D 6.

See section “CHANGING SAW BLADE.” L K Fig. 31 G 10. Use a straight edge (E) to check to see if the saw blade is aligned with the rear of the splitter (G) in Figs. 32 and 33. If alignment is necessary, loosen the bolts (A) Fig. 33, align splitter (G) with the saw blade, and tighten two bolts (A). E Fig. 32 G A Fig. 33 11.
EXTENSION AND SWITCH ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLING STEEL EXTENSION WING AND SWITCH C D DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. C B 1. Assemble extension wing (A) Fig. 35, to the saw table using three 7/16-20 x 3/4" bolts (B) and flat washers (C). B A 2. With a straight edge (D) Fig. 35, make certain the extension wing (A) is level with the saw table before tightening three bolts (B). Fig. 35 3. Loosely assemble switch bracket (E) Fig.
FENCE ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS ASSEMBLING GUIDE RAILS DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. S 1. Loosely assemble 1" long carriage head bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts (S) Fig. 41 into the two pre-drilled holes in the saw table and extension wings. Place carriage bolts through holes, add flat washers then hex nuts. S 2. Starting at the extreme left side of the left extension wing (B) Fig.
7. When the rails are completely assembled and tightened, install a 1/4-20 x 3/8" socket head screw (Y) in the other side of the adapter plate (X) Fig. 43, then tighten both screws. 8. Insert end cap (L) Fig. 46, into each end of the guide rail (D), as shown. Using a rubber mallet or a hammer and a block of wood, gently tap end caps until they are completely seated into each end of the guide rail. NOTE: DO NOT use a hammer directly against end caps or the guide rail.
ASSEMBLING SCALE TO GUIDE RAIL B 1. Raise lock handle (A) Fig. 51, and slide rip fence (B) against one edge of the miter gage slot (C) as shown. Clamp the fence onto the guide rail by pushing down on lock handle (A). The edge of the fence (B) Fig. 51, should be parallel to the edge of the miter gage slot. If an adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen either of two screws (D) Fig.
2. Position the fence (B) Fig. 56, along one edge of the miter gage slot (F) as shown and lock the fence in that position. The edge of the fence (B) Fig. 56, should line up parallel to the miter gage slot (F). If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: B F 3. Using a square (G) Fig. 57, and a straight edge (H), check to see if the rip fence (B) is perpendicular to the saw table and that the rip fence body is level with the saw table.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS RAISING AND LOWERING THE BLADE B To raise the saw blade, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 59, and turn the blade raising handwheel (B) clockwise. When the blade is at the desired height, tighten lock knob (A). E A To lower the blade, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 59, and turn the handwheel (B) counterclockwise. NOTE: One full turn of the handwheel will change blade height approximately 1/4". D C Fig.
CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT The saw has been aligned at the factory so the saw blade is parallel to the miter gage slots; however, it is recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 62, on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gage slot, as shown, and adjust the square so the rule just touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position, as shown in Fig. 62.
BACKLASH ADJUSTMENTS BACKLASH ADJUSTMENTS FOR BLADE RAISING AND BLADE TILTING MECHANISMS C After a period of extended use, if any play is detected in the blade raising or blade tilting mechanisms, make the following adjustments: D DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. A B 1. NOTE: The machine has been turned upside down and the blade removed for clarity and safety. 2. ADJUSTING BLADE RAISING MECHANISM Loosen locknut (A) Fig.
ADJUSTING TABLE INSERT DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE. MACHINE FROM B Place a straight edge across the table at both ends of the table insert. The table insert (A) Fig. 69 should always be level with the table. If an adjustment is necessary, turn the adjusting screws (B). Four adjusting screws (B) are supplied in the table insert. The table insert is equipped with a convenient finger hole (C) for easy removal. A C B Fig. 69 MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT 1.
COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
RIPPING Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip fence (A) Fig. 76 is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table. The saw blade guard must be used.
ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc. The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 80).
SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN THE GRAIN DIRECTION. MAKE ALL CUTS IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE GRAIN WHENEVER POSSIBLE. C A LW AY S I N S TA L L B L A D E G U A R D AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETE. Fig. 84 ACCESSORY DADO HEAD USING DADO HEAD THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING. IT CAN BE SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW AS DESCRIBED IN “USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD” SECTION. AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH STICKS AND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD BE USED. Fig. 85 1.
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD Fig. 90, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig. 91, and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 32 Fig. 92 1/2" SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2″ WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4" WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2" OR 3/4" WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MAT’L. TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 92.
STORAGE STORING THE MITER GAGE, AND ARBOR WRENCHES 1. When not in use, the miter gage (A) Fig. 93 can be stored through the hole located at the front side of the stand. A 2. Arbor wrenches (C) Fig. 93, can be stored on one of the two notched legs. C Fig. 93 D DUST CHUTE The saw stand support panel (D) Fig. 94 also serves as a natural built-in dust chute. This dust chute (D) allows the sawdust to conveniently escape out the rear of the saw stand and away from the work area.
