ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS Positive stops are provided to quickly and accurately position the blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Raise the saw blade all the way to the top and turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go. Fig. 32 2. Using a square, check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table Fig. 32.
ADJUSTING TABLE The saw table has been aligned at the factory so the miter gage slots are parallel to the saw blade; however, it is recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows: B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 36, 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. 36.
MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT A The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90 degrees and 45 degrees right and left. Adjustment to the index stops can be made by tightening or loosening the three adjusting screws (B) Fig. 40, with allen wrench supplied. To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 40, flip the stop link (D) down and out of the way, and move the body of the miter gage (C), to the desired angle.
MACHINE USE 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, (Fig. 53). NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and flat. The rip fence (A) 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. A THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE USED.
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. 61).
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. 65 ACCESSORY DADO HEAD THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING. IT MUST BE REMOVED OR 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. 1.
USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE When performing special cutting operations – and that operation may cause the cutting implement to contact the fence – it is necessary to add a wood facing (A) Fig. 71, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence. 3/4-inch stock is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require one-inch facing. A Fig.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 24 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.
MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
