9 CUTTINGHEAD AND CROSS-CUT STOP TO TRACK-ARM 1. Remove two screws (A) and end cap (B) from track- arm, Fig. 8. 2. Hold cuttinghead assembly (D) Fig. 9, with both hands and insert the ball bearings (E) into the track- arm, as shown. Push cuttinghead all the way onto track-arm and tighten clamp knob (F).
10 ST AR TER BOX TO BASE 1. Assemble bracket (A) to the bottom of the right side of saw base, (Fig. 12), using the 1/4-20x1/2" hex head screw (B), 1/4" lockwasher (D), and 1/4-20 nut (E).
11 ADJUSTING T ABLE TOP P ARALLEL TO TRACK-ARM For accurate work the track-arm must be parallel to the table top at all points. T o check and adjust: 1. Move the motor and cuttinghead assembly (A) to the vertical position (Fig. 18). Position saw arbor (B) Fig.
12 3. IMPORT ANT : T o prevent arbor nut fr om spinning when blade stops, place the 1-1/16" wrench (C) Fig. 23 on flats of arbor and firmly tighten arbor nut (A) with the 1-5/8" box end spanner wrench (D) (left handed thread). Firmly tighten set scr ew (E).
13 4. Attach eyelet (H) Fig. 30 of cable assembly (C) to "S" bracket (E). 5. NOTE: T o prevent pr emature wear of r etur n reel cable, position the return reel so that the cable does not rub against the wall of the return reel. Fig. 30 H C E Fig.
14 T AKING SIDE MOTION OUT OF OVER-ARM 1. Loosen hex nuts (A) and gib adjusting scr ews (B) and (C) Fig. 31. 2. Loosen nuts (D) Fig. 31, and adjust bolts (E), so that base wraps around column secur ely . If column is tight in base, turn bolts (E) clockwise to loosen.
15 Fig. 33 Fig. 34 G ADJUSTING TRACK RODS Each track rod (A, B, C, D) Fig. 34 can be adjusted individually to present a new bearing surface. Adjust the track rods one at a time as follows: 1. Remove end cap (E) Fig. 35, cross-cut stop (F) and cutterhead assembly (G), from the track-arm (Fig.
16 ADJUSTING BLADE SQUARE WITH T ABLE TOP 1. Remove blade guard and place saw blade in cut-of f position over fixed portion of table. 2. Place a square (A) Fig. 36, against saw blade. Be sure squar e is on the table surface, and between the gullets of the teeth, not against the saw teeth.
17 1. Place a square (A) Fig. 40 against fence (B), and lower cuttinghead (C) so that saw blade just clears table top. 2. Pull cuttinghead (C) Fig. 40, along square (A). If saw blade does not travel parallel to the square, the following adjustment is necessary .
18 Even though the cuttinghead travel may be perfectly aligned at 90 degrees to the fence, the blade itself may not be 90 degrees or squar e with the fence, (Fig. 42). This condition is known as "heeling."T o check and adjust: 1. Cross-cut a board and see on which side of the cut board saw teeth marks appear .
19 ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD On all ripping and plowing operations, the back part of the blade guard is lower ed so that it just clears the material. This will prevent the material fr om being lifted off the table. Also, lower the kickback r od (A) Fig. 46, so that the kickback fingers are 1/8" below surface of material.
20 ADJUSTING TENSION ON CUTTINGHEAD RETURN ASSEMBL Y The cuttinghead return assembly is properly tensioned when ther e is just enough cable tension to return the cuttinghead (A) Fig. 49, without excessive force, to the r ear of the track arm (B) after completion of the cut.
21 CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting consists of supporting the workpiece against the fence and pulling the saw blade through the material at right angles to it. When cross-cutting, the track arm should be indexed at “0” and the track arm clamp handle tightened.
22 COMPOUND MITER CUTTING Compound miter cutting is performed in the same manner as miter cutting except the saw blade is also tilted to cut a bevel. The settings and operation ar e similar to miter cut ting except that the blade is first tilted to the desired angle on the bevel scale befor e it is clamped in place.
23 PUSH STICK Make from 1/2 ″ OR 3/4 ″ WOOD or thickness less than width of material to be cut. Cut her e to push 1/4 ″ wood. Cut her e to push 1/2 ″ wood.
