Use and Care Manual

2. To adjust the left jaw, loosen bolts A and B using a

20 mm wrench.

3. Position the jaw to the desired angle, or squared to

the blade, and then tighten bolts A and B.

4. Repeat the previous steps with the right jaw using

the bolts C and D.

Note: Use the vise handwheel to open or close the

vise.

MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-

ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

SQUARING THE VISE TO THE BLADE/USING THE VISE

(CONTINUED)

1. Loosen lock knobs E & F and push the two blade

guards G & H in the direction of the arrows. Shut off

the hydraulic downfeed control, and then lift the

arm into the vertical position.

2. Loosen nut I using a 14 mm opend wrench.

The guide bearings K keep the blade from moving from side to side during the cutting and must be adjusted

close to the blade (but not touching the blade) in order to ensure accurate cuts. The space between each guide

bearing and the blade must not exceed 0.001”. If less space is left, the blade will get stuck or jammed between the

bearings. Too much friction will cause blade to overheat and break.

Note: Before adjusting the blade guides, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Re-adjust

the blade guides after each blade tension or tracking adjustment.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES

3. Turn the eccentric shaft J with pliers until the blade

and bearing are about 0.001” apart as shown K.

4. To lock the bearing position, retighten nut I while

holding shaft J with pliers. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the

other bearing, and then for the second assembly

located on the other side of the saw arm.

5. Make a test cut and re-adjust the blade guides if

needed.
