to lock fence in position. NOTE: A magnet (B) Fig. 56, is provided to hold clamp handle (A) in the up position when moving the fence. 3. The distance the fence is positioned away from the blade is indicated by the witness line (C) Fig. 57, located on the cursor (D). If it is necessary to adjust the cursor (D), make a test cut with the fence locked in position.
SCREWS (D) AND (E) IS NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE FENCE PARALLEL WITH THE MITER GAGE SLOT. B ADJUSTING CLAMPING ACTION OF FENCE LOCKING HANDLE When the fence locking handle (A) is pushed to the down position, as shown in Fig. 61, the fence assembly (B) should be completely clamped to the guide tube (C). If the fence assembly (B) is not completely clamped to the guide tube (C) when the handle (A) is pushed down, as shown in Fig. 61, lift up handle (A) and raise fence assembly (B) up off the guide tube (C).
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

ground blades, the blade should be raised 1/8″ to 1/4″ above the top surface of the material being cut. With hollow ground blades, the blade should be raised the maximum to provide greater clearance. To raise the saw blade, loosen lock knob (B) Fig. 67, and turn the handwheel (A), clockwise. To lower the saw blade, turn handwheel (A) counterclockwise. The saw blade is locked at any height by turning the lock knob (B) Fig. 67, clockwise.
11. Loosen locknut (C), and turn adjusting screw (D) counter clockwise, on turn. 12. Turn the blade tilting handwheel until the blade is 45 degrees to the table. 13. Turn adjusting head screw (D) clockwise, until it just contacts the casting on the front trunnion, then tighten locknut (C), until it is locked into place. 14. Check to see if the tilt indicator pointer points to the 45 degree mark on the scale.
The miter gage body will stop at 90 degrees and 45 degrees both right and left. To rotate the miter gage body past these points, the stop link (D) Fig. 73, must be moved up and out of the way. The head of the miter gage pivots on a special tapered screw (G) Fig. 74, that fastens the head to the miter gage bar.If the miter gage head does not pivot freely, or pivots too freely, it can be adjusted by loosening set screw (H) Fig. 74, and turning the screw (G) in or out.
Fig. 76, and carefully let the motor rest on the belts. 11. Correct belt tension is when there is approximately 1/4″ deflection in the center span of the pulleys, using light finger pressure. After tension is applied, tighten screw (D) Fig. 76.
When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B), can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 80. It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut.
W G H Fig. 85 Fig. 84 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, as shown in Fig. 83. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw.
Fig. 89 Fig. 88 Fig. 90 WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK. When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. The feed should be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent splintering. E In all cuts, attention should be given the grain, making the cut in the same direction as the grain whenever possible. A LW AYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS COMPETE.
B A A Fig. 93 Fig. 94 sticks and feather boards should also be used. Also, the accessory dado head table insert (E) Fig. 91, must be used in place of the standard table insert. Fig. 92, shows a typical dado operation using the miter gage as a guide. W ARNING: NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION. IMPORTANT:ALW AYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETED.
