Adjustment of the Rollerhead to Arm (cont’d)
5. Insert socket wrench into bottom of bearing shaft (C) and
turn until the bearing touches the arm track on both top
and bottom radii. Repeat for both shafts. Bearings should
be tightened only so that they roll and do not slide.
6. Replace the end cap and return saw to normal position.
Note-Too much pressure on the roller bearings will cause
excessive and unnecessary wear in the parts and make
the carriage work harder. Seven to ten pounds average
pull on the carriage is a desirable preload.
Adjustment of the Yoke Clamp Handle
The yoke clamp handle (A) provides a friction lock between
the yoke and the rollerhead. When in operating position it
should be approximately 90
o
to the handle of the yoke. If
it is not, adjustment should be made as follows:
1. Pull yoke clamp handle (A) forward.
2. Remove socket head cap screw (B) locking the star
washer on the underside of the yoke.
3. Using the same allen wrench, rotate the kingbolt (C)
counterclockwise to tighten.
4. Replace the cap screw.
5. Check to ensure handle will lock the yoke to the roller-
head
Adjustment of Table Top Parallel to Arm
The arm tracks must be parallel to the tabletop at all
points. This assures uniform depth of cut, especially
when dado cutting. Remove the blade and insert an
arbor wrench or allen wrench between the saw arbor
collars. Lower the wrench until it touches the tabletop.
If the top is not level:
1. Locate the highest point by swinging the arm from
side to side and moving the carriage back and forth
on the arm.
2. Loosen the lock nuts beneath the table frame.
3. Raise the jack screws so as to bring the low parts of
the tabletop level with the high spots.
4. Tighten the lock nuts beneath the table frame.
How to check the Guide Strip For Accuracy
For accurate work the guide strip must be straight. If the machine has been exposed to the weather or used for a period of
time the wood parts may become warped or worn so that the guide strip is no longer straight. It should be made straight by
planing and sanding or replacing. Check it with a straight edge or square before proceeding and make any adjustments nec-
essary.
Caution! Disconnect and lockout power supply before making any adjustments or alignments.
