1.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4.DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVI- RONMENT. DO NOT use power tools in damp or wet locations, or where any flam- mable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

5.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

6.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7.DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8.USE RIGHT TOOL. DO NOT force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. Conductor size should be in accor- dance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten- sion cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protec- tive hair covering to contain long hair.

11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glass- es.

12.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times.

14.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubri- cating and changing accessories.

15.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the instruction manual for recom- mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION- AL STARTING. On machines with mag- netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before recon- necting.

17.MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN ???KICKBACK??? THE WORKPIECE toward the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create ???kickback??? and know how to avoid them. Read the manual accompanying the machine thoroughly.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur- ther use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, bind- ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20.NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN

TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert- ness is required at all times when running a machine.

21.NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER- ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any instructions you give in regards to the operation of the machine are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

1.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use the blade guard and riving knife on all ''through- sawing'' operations. Through-sawing oper- ations are those when the blade cuts com- pletely through the workpiece.

2.KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear under- standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!

3.WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is either supported by the rip fence or the crosscut table during cutting operations.

4.PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick when ripping narrow stock.

5.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly in-line with the cutting path of the saw blade.

6.REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never reach behind or over the blade with either hand while the saw is running. If kickback occurs while reaching over the blade, hands or arms could be pulled into the spinning saw blade.

7.USING THE RIP FENCE AND THE

CROSSCUT FENCE TOGETHER DUR- ING A CUTTING OPERATION. When using the crosscut fence, the workpiece should never be contacting the rip fence while the saw blade is cutting.

8.STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off before attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade.

9.COMFORTABLE CUTTING OPERA- TIONS. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the spinning saw blade.

10.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Service Department at (570) 546-9663.

11.BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade to the proper height above the workpiece.

12.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or other- wise damaged.

13.RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. Only oper- ate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with the main blade.

Like all machines there is danger associated with the Model G0501. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail- ure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precau- tions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

Statistics prove that most common acci- dents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward its oper- ator. In addition to the danger of the oper- ator or others in the area being struck by the flying stock, it is often the case that the operator???s hands are pulled into the blade during the kickback.

Preventing Kickback

Below are tips to reduce the likelihood of kick- back:

???Never attempt freehand cuts. If the work- piece is not fed perfectly parallel with the blade, a kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or crosscut fence to support the workpiece.

???Make sure the riving knife is always aligned with the blade. A misaligned riving knife can cause the workpiece to bind or stop the flow of the cut, resulting in an increased chance of kickback. If you think that your riving knife is not aligned with the blade, check it imme- diately!

???Ensure that your table slides parallel with the blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback are extreme. Take the time to check and adjust the sliding table.

???Use the riving knife during every cut. The riv- ing knife helps maintain the kerf in the work- piece after it is cut, therefore, reducing the chance of kickback.

???Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the middle of a cut, the chance of binding, result- ing in kickback, is greatly increased.

Protecting Yourself

from Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some tips to reduce the likelihood of injury if kickback DOES occur:

???Stand to the side of the blade during every cut. If a kickback does occur, the thrown workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.

???Always wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the event of a kickback, your eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of your body.

???Never, for any reason, place your hand behind the blade. Should kickback occur, your hand will be pulled into the blade.

???Use a pushstick to keep your hands farther away from the moving blade. If a kickback occurs, the push stick will most likely take the damage that your hand would have received.

Arbor: Metal shaft extending from the drive mechanism, to which saw blade is mounted.

Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the arbor and saw blade to an angle between 0?? and 45?? to cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece.

Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device that mounts over the saw blade. Its function is to prevent the operator from coming into contact with the saw blade.

Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the cross- cut fence is used to cut across the grain, or across the shortest width of the workpiece.

Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are used to cut grooves and rabbets.

Dado Cut: Cutting operation that uses a dado blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the face of the workpiece.

Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the workpiece against the rip fence and against the table surface.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece after the saw blade passes through during a cutting operation.

Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is propelled back towards the operator at a high rate of speed.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every point along two given lines or planes. i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw blade.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that requires the removal of the blade guard and riving knife. Dado and rabbet cuts are consid- ered Non-Through Cuts because the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock. Always remember to re-install the blade guard and riving knife after performing a non-through cut.

Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and form right angles. i.e. the blade is perpen- dicular to the table surface.

Push Stick: Safety device used to push the workpiece through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.

Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L- shaped channel along the edge of the work- piece.

Riving knife: Metal plate located behind the the blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the wood when performing a cutting operation.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness, parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).

Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through.

Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence is used to cut with the grain, or across the widest width of the workpiece.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical cir- cuits are grounded before you connect them to the machine. DO NOT use the Model G0501 if it is not grounded.

In the event of an electrical malfunction or break- down, grounding provides a path of least resis- tance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine must be equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor. This conductor must be grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we do not recommend the use of exten- sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords.

Rewiring to 440V

The Model G0501 can be rewired for 440V oper- ation. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting the saw from the power source, changing the connections on the voltage transformer, changing the overload relays for the cutting motor and scoring motor, and rewiring the cutting motor and scoring motor.

The necessary overload relays for this procedure can be purchased in the Model G0501 440V Conversion Kit by calling our customer service number at (800) 523-4777.

This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job must be inspected by a licensed electrician before the saw is connected to the power source. Also, the motors can be accessed easier for rewiring if the blade is moved to 0?? (90?? to table) before beginning.

To rewire the Model G0501 for 440V opera- tion:

1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

2.Open the electrical panel and locate the volt- age transformer shown in Figure 2.

Moving & Placing

Saw Base Unit

The Model G0501 is a heavy machine that weighs approximately 2300 lbs. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assis- tance and power equip- ment when moving the shipping crate and removing the machine from the crate.

To remove the saw base unit from the crate pallet:

1.Cut off and remove all plastic straps from the crate.

2.Position the forklift forks together and direct- ly above the saw.

3.Place two lifting straps over the forks and attach the ends to the lifting bolts as shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19. Lifting the saw base unit.

4.Lift the saw base unit and move it to your predetermined location.

5.Before lowering the saw into position, place safety blocks under the frame and thread the four foot studs into the frame at least half of their length.

6.Remove the safety blocks and lower the saw onto the feet as shown in Figure 20 and remove the forklift straps.

Figure 20. Foot studs placed in base feet.

7.Place a level on the saw table and adjust foot studs so the the saw table is level from left to right and from front to back.

8.Lock the foot studs in position by tightening their jam nuts against the machine body.

To install the sliding table:

1.Remove the red shipping brace, shown in Figure 24, from the blade tilt mechanism.

Figure 24. Blade tilt shipping brace.

2.Using a 12mm hex wrench, remove the three large cap screws (Figure 25) from the saw base unit.

Figure 25. Three large caps screws to be removed from saw base unit.

3.Back out the parallel adjustment bolts shown in Figure 26, but do not completely remove them or the jam nuts that are installed on them.

Figure 26. Parallel adjustment bolts.

4.While the sliding table is still in its crate, pen- cil a light mark on the front of the table that references the middle mounting hole. Note???

This step will save time when positioning the sliding table on the base unit.

5.Now, locate the middle attachment hole on the base unit (where you removed the large cap screws in step 2) and pencil a light align- ment mark on the front of the machine base unit.

6.Use at least four strong people to lift the slid- ing table onto the base unit. The edge of the sliding table should be up against the edge of the base unit table and the penciled refer- ence marks should be aligned with each other.

7.Have two of your assistants hold the sliding table in position so that it does not fall while you are securing it to the base unit.

8.Remove the shipping brace, shown in Figure 27, from the end of the sliding table.

Figure 27. Sliding table shipping brace.

9.From the end of the sliding table, look inside the sliding table and locate the three attach- ment blocks. These need to be positioned over the attachment holes. The scale bar is an excellent tool for inserting into the table and positioning the blocks.

10.Starting at the middle hole, reach through the dust port opening and stick your finger in the attachment hole. Have your third assistant use the scale bar to push or pull the middle attachment block so that you can align it with your finger.

11.Once aligned, thread one of the large cap screws from the base into the attachment block, but DO NOT completely tighten with the hex wrench until instructed later in this manual.

12.Remove the two access panels from the back of the base unit (Figure 28) so that you can access both of the remaining attachment holes.

13.Utilizing the same procedures from steps 10 & 11, thread the remaining two cap screws from the base into the sliding table attach- ment blocks.

14.Install the sliding table handles and end cap (shown in Figure 29 & 30) with two flat head screws per each, securing from the top of the table.

Figure 52. Miter fence set to 45?? mark on the miter gauge scale.

Sliding Table

Parallel Adjustment

Now is the point in the assembly process to make the sliding table parallel with the main saw blade and tighten the three large cap screws that were used to secure the sliding table to the saw base.

Besides the tools included with the saw, this pro- cedure requires you to have a precision ruler, a felt tip pen, and the assistance of another person.

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:

1.Set the blade to 0?? on the control panel (90?? with the cast iron table).

2.Raise the main blade up as far as it will go.

3.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

4.Mark the center of the blade with a felt tip pen. This will allow you to take your mea- surements from the exact same place on the blade.

5.Move the sliding table all the way to one end, and using a precision ruler, measure the gap between the edge of the table and your mark on the blade as shown in Figure 54.

Figure 54. Measuring gap between sliding table edge and center of blade with a precision ruler.

6.Move the other end of the sliding table in front of the blade and measure the gap.

???If the gap is the same on both sides, then the sliding table is already parallel with the main blade. Skip to step 10.

???If the gap on one side is different than the other, then continue with step 7.

7.Move the end of the sliding table that needs to be adjusted in front of the blade.

8.Using the ruler, watch the gap measurement and have your assistant slowly make the adjustments at the parallel adjustment bolts (Figure 55) until the gap size is equal to the other side.

Figure 55. Sliding table parallel adjustment bolt (other side not shown).

9.Repeat steps 5???6 until the gap between your mark on the blade and the edge of the sliding table is even at both ends.

10.Tighten the jam nuts on the parallel adjust- ment bolts to secure them in place

11.Now tighten the three large cap screws (Page 23, Figure 25) that secure the sliding table to the base.

Fence Scale

Alignment

Before operation, the 0" mark on the rip fence scale must be aligned with the right side of the blade to ensure that the rip fence measurements will be accurate.

To align the fence scale with the blade:

1.Set the blade to 0?? on the control panel (90?? with the cast iron table).

2.Raise the main blade up as far as it will go.

3.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

4.Remove the stop bolt shown in Figure 56.

Figure 56. Rip fence stop bolts

5.Move the rip fence all the way against the blade as shown in Figure 57.

Figure 57. Rip fence aligned with blade.

6.Loosen the scale lock knob (Figure 58), adjust the scale 0" mark even with the fence, and tighten the scale knob to keep the scale in place.

Figure 58. Rip fence scale lock knob.

7.Move the fence away from the blade and re- install the stop bolt that was removed in step 4.

Dust Collection

The Model G0501 is equipped with two dust ports that should be properly connected to a dust col- lection system before operation.

To connect the dust ports to a dust collection system:

1.Secure a 5" dust hose to the dust port locat- ed under the saw table (Figure 59).

Figure 59. 5" dust port location.

2.Run the 5" hose to your dust collection sys- tem.

3.Connect a 2" dust hose to the port located above the blade guard shown in Figure 60.

Figure 60. 2" dust port location.

4.Run the 2" hose along the braces on the back of the blade guard swing arm to your dust collection system. Make sure to leave extra slack in the dust hose near swing arm pivot points.

NOTICE

Remember maximum working clearances when installing dust hoses.

5.Run a ground wire along the dust hose and attach the wire to the machine to protect against static electricity.

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without prop- er protective gear. Always wear safety glass- es, a dust mask, and hearing protection when operating this machine.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from mov- ing machinery.

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this machine. However, it is in no way compre- hensive of all of the machine???s applications. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal train- ing to maximize the potential of your machine.

Operation Tips

Your safety is important. The tips below are intended to supplement Section 2: Safety. But remember, no safety list can be comprehensive of every situation. The operator is ultimately responsible for their own safety, as well as the safety of bystanders. Every cutting operation is uniquely different and may require safety equip- ment or safety procedures not mentioned in this manual.

Please follow these tips EVERY time you use your saw:

???Stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when performing a cutting operation.

???Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut- off piece.

???Make sure that the riving knife is always aligned with the main blade before cutting!

???Always position the blade guard to the cor- rect height above the workpiece.

???Carefully plan each cutting operation to avoid injuries.

???When you release the sliding table lock, make sure that the knob is positioned so that it will not lock the table during a cut.

Changing Blade Tilt

The blade can be tilted anywhere from 0?? to 45??.

To change the blade tilt:

1.Turn the main power switch ON.

2.Rotate the red EMERGENCY STOP button until it springs up.

3.Press SET on the keypad.

4.Type in your desired blade tilt. (For example: If you want the blade to tilt to 30??, type 3, 0.)

5.Press START on the keypad. The blade should now move to your desired tilt.

Changing Blade

Speeds

The blades for the Model G0501 can operate at 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 RPM. This speed can be easily changed by moving the V-belt posi- tion on the main motor pulley and arbor pulley.

To change the blade speed:

1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

2.Remove the cap screws on the top and bot- tom right corners, then open the motor cabi- net door.

3.Move the belt tension handle (Figure 61) down to loosen the V-belt.

Figure 61. Belt tension release handle.

4.Position the V-belt in one of the pulley loca- tions illustrated in Figure 62, depending on your desired blade speed.

6.Move the belt tension handle up to tighten the V-belt.

7.Close and secure the motor cabinet door.

Aligning Scoring

Blade Set

The scoring blade must be aligned with the main blade to ensure satisfactory cutting results. Before attempting to align the scoring blade with the main blade, the kerf thickness must match that of the main blade.

To align the scoring blade set:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0?? on the control panel (blade 90?? to table), and raise the main blade and scoring blade set up as far as they will go.

2.Remove the stop bolt from the rip fence, and move the rip fence against the main blade (or scoring blade) as shown in Figure 64.

Figure 64. Fence against blade as a guide for aligning the scoring blade.

3.Use the control panel to move the scoring blade so that the rip fence can touch both the scoring blade and the main blade when posi- tioned as shown in Figure 64.

4.Lower the scoring blade to the correct height and perform a test cut, then make any final adjustments.

Rip Cutting

The Model G0501 has the capability of rip cutting full size panels (Figure 65). The sliding table removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over a stationary table surface.

Figure 65. Rip cutting setup with the sliding table.

This saw also has the capability of rip cutting smaller boards, using the machine as a tradition- al table saw (Figure 66). Smaller, lighter boards are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron table surface to the right of the saw blade.

Figure 66. Rip cutting using the traditional table saw technique.

Determine which cutting operation will be best suited for the workpiece to be ripped.

???To use the sliding table, read the instruc- tions titled ???Rip cutting with the sliding table.???

???To use the machine as a traditional table saw, skip ahead to ???Rip cutting using the traditional table saw technique.???

Rip cutting with the sliding table:

1.Mount the crosscut table to the sliding table.

2.Slide and secure the crosscut table to the end of the sliding table opposite the sliding table handle.

3.Install the crosscut fence in the guide pin holes shown in Figure 67 and lock it in place with the cam locks. Note???First, drop the crosscut fence into the outside edge guide pin hole, then drop the other end of the crosscut fence into the guide pine hole clos- est to the sliding table.

Figure 67. Guide pin holes used when mounting the crosscut fence for rip cutting operations.

4.Set either flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.

5.Position the blade guard to the correct height for your workpiece.

6.Load the workpiece onto the table saw. The set up should look similar to Figure 65.

7.Once all the necessary safety precautions have been taken, perform the cutting opera- tion.

Rip cutting using the traditional table saw technique:

1.Slide the crosscut table out of the way.

2.Lock the sliding table into a stationary posi- tion.

3.Position the rip fence to the desired width-of- cut.

4.Slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is even with the center of the main saw blade as shown in Figure 68. Note???This tech- nique allows the finished cut-off piece to ???fall??? away from the blade when the cutting opera- tion is complete; therefore, reducing the pos- sibility of kickback and preventing the trailing corner of the workpiece from being nicked by the back edge of the blade.

Figure 68. Rip fence set even with center of blade.

5.Position the blade guard to the correct height for your workpiece.

6.Once all the necessary safety precautions have been taken, load the workpiece onto the table saw and perform the cutting opera- tion.

Changing Main

Blade

The Model G0501 will perform best when high quality, sharp blades are used. Therefore, when- ever the main blade starts to get dull, we recom- mend that you have it resharpened or replace it with a new blade.

Also, the Model G0501 is designed to accommo- date either a 12" or a 14" main blade. But any time you change blade sizes, the appropriate sized riving knife must also be changed to match the size of blade you install.

To change main blade:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0?? on the control panel (blade 90?? to table).

2.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

3.Move the sliding table all the way to the left and push the release knob to expose the internal blade guard that covers the blades and riving knife, as shown in Figure 80.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0501 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all cast iron and unpainted steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Once a week:

???Clean sliding table surface and grooves.

???Clean the cast iron saw table.

???Clean the roller guideways for the sliding table.

???Clean the aluminum rip fence and sliding grooves.

???Clean the rip fence bracket.

Once a month:

???Vacuum inside the motor cabinet.

Miscellaneous

Always be aware of the condition of your machine. Routinely check the condition of the fol- lowing items and repair or replace as necessary:

???Loose mounting bolts.

???Worn switch.

???Worn or damaged blade.

???Worn or damaged blade guard.

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension. Check the V-belts at least every 3 months; more often if the saw is used daily.

See Section 8: Service Adjustments for instruc- tions on replacing the belts, if needed.

Bearings

The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and require no lubrication during their usable life. However, your saw components will operate at their best if the bearing surfaces are kept clean??? this is especially important for the trunnion bear- ings.

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing ser- vice adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

5.Remove the old V-belt and replace it with a new belt.

6.Move the belt tension handle up to tighten the V-belt.

7.Close and secure the motor cabinet door.

To change the belt on the scoring blade motor:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0?? on the control panel (blade 90?? to table), and raise the main blade and scoring blade set up as far as they will go.

2.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

3.Open the motor cabinet door.

4.Jack up the scoring blade motor with a bottle jack, as shown in Figure 91, to loosen the belt. Note???Use wood blocks to raise the bot- tle jack.

Calibrating Blade

Tilt

The blade tilt is calibrated at the factory, but can be adjusted if it changes during the life of the machine.

To calibrate the blade tilt:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0?? on the control panel (blade 90?? to table), and raise the main blade as far as it will go.

2.Place a machinist???s square on the table and against the blade.

3.Adjust the blade tilt until the blade is perfect- ly square with the table.

4.At the control panel, press SET.

5.Press 0.

5.Remove the old belt and install a new belt in the center of the pulleys.

6.Let the jack down, so the weight of the motor tensions the belt.

7.Remove the jack and wood blocks, and close the motor cabinet door.

6.Press and hold down SET for five seconds. This new setting will now be stored in the control panel.

Adjusting Riving

Knife Alignment

The riving knife can be aligned with the blade by adjusting the four setscrews on the mounting plate.

To align the riving knife:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0?? on the control panel (blade 90?? to table), and raise the main blade and scoring blade set up as far as they will go.

2.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

3.Move the sliding table all the way to the left and push the release knob to expose the internal blade guard that covers the blades and riving knife.

4.Pull the blade guard away from the riving knife to expose the mounting assembly as shown in Figure 92. (The internal blade guard is held in place with a magnet.)

5.Loosen the securing bolt on the riving knife mounting plate.

6.Place the rip fence across the carbide teeth of the main blade and across the riving knife.

7.Adjust the four setscrews (Figure 93) in/out until the riving knife is aligned with the car- bide teeth of the main blade.

Figure 93. Adjusting riving knife alignment.

8.Tighten the securing bolt to lock the riving knife in place.

9.Move the blade guard back into position and center the sliding table.

Squaring Crosscut

Fence to Blade

Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be square. This procedure can be done by using a piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and mak- ing five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as nec- essary.

To square the crosscut fence with the blade:

1.Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid- ing table.

2.Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to 32" x 32".

3.Number all four sides of the test piece.

4.Using the crosscut fence, cut 1???2" off of each side of the test piece.

5.Measure the test piece diagonally from cor- ner-to-corner, at all four corners, as shown in

Figure 94.

???If both measurements are not within 1???16", then the crosscut fence needs to be adjusted. Proceed to step 6.

???If both measurements are within 1???16" then you are finished with this procedure.
