To Square Saw Blade with the Table Top
Pull the saw to middle of table and lock into place.
Make sure the tabletop is level and place a steel square
against the side of the blade; the square should be
against the gullets and not the teeth of the blade. If
the blade is not square to the tabletop:
1. Remove two screws holding the bevel pointer.
2. Loosen the two sockethead cap screws (A) located
on the outside of the dial plate.
3. Release the bevel clamp handle (B).
4. Rotate the motor so the saw blade is flat against
the square. Tighten the two locking sockethead
cap screws.
5. Replace the bevel pointer.
6. Engage the bevel clamp and recheck for square.
7. Adjust the bevel pointer washer/logo plate to line
up with zero on the bevel scale.
Adjustment of Bevel Clamp Handle
The bevel clamp holds the motor tightly at any angle by
clamping the yoke around the dial plate. If adjustment be-
comes necessary do the following:
1. Release the bevel clamp handle by pulling it away from
the dial plate as shown.
2. Use an allen wrench to holdi the cap screw stationary
and adjust the jam nut as necessary.
3. Engage the bevel clamp.
Adjusting Crosscut Travel Parallel to Arm Tracks
The leading and trailing teeth of the saw blade should travel in the same plane parallel to the arm tracks. When the saw blade
is not parallel to the arm the result will be what is called “heel” - the back of the blade will not follow in the kerf of the front of
the blade. Signs of a blade heeling are indicated when the rear teeth of the blade mark the material with an offset in the cut.
This may be checked by cutting a piece of material at least 1”x4” . Place the material against the guide fence and crosscut a
narrow strip; do not pull the saw blade entirely through the material but just allow the front teeth to clear the material. Stop
the cut with the rear teeth remaining in the cut. Stop the saw and pull the material away from the blade prior to returning the
blade behind the guide fence. Adjustment is necessary if rear teeth marks are prominent on either side of the cut ( the rear
teeth will arc toward the guide fence). This can also be checked by placing a square across the blade as shown; be sure to
avoid placing any part of the square on the teeth. The square should be in contact with the blade in both the front and rear. To
correct this situation:
A. If marks are made on the right hand side of material:
1. Release the bevel clamp handle.
2. Loosen the right and left lock nuts on the rear yoke
trunion bushing.
3. Unscrew the left set screw about 1/6th turn and screw
in the right screw the same amount.
4. Tighten the lock nuts, engage the bevel clamp handle
and recheck.
B. If marks are made on the left hand side of material:
1. Release the bevel clamp handle.
2. Loosen the right and left lock nuts on the rear yoke
trunion bushing.
3. Unscrew the right set screw about 1/6th turn and
screw in the left screw the same amount.
4. Tighten the lock nuts, engage the bevel clamp handle
and recheck.
