beyond its cap acity , etc.), or low volt age, turn the switch
to the OFF position, let the motor cool three to five
minutes and push the reset button (A), which will reset
the overload device.The motor can then be turned on
again in the usual manner.

ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE A N D
45 DEGREE POSITIVE STO P S
Your saw is equipped with positive stop s that will quickly
and accurately position the saw blade at 90 degrees and
45 degrees to the table. To check and adjust the positive
stop s, proceed as follows:
1. W ARNING: When adjusting the positive stops,
make certain the machine is disconnected from the
power source.
2. Raise the saw blade to it s highest position.
3. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the t able by turning
the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it
will go.
4. Using a combination square (A) Fig. 81, check to see
if the blade is at 90 degrees to the t able surface as
shown.
5. If the blade is not at 90 degrees to the t able, loosen
set screw (B) Fig. 81 with supplied wrench (C), and turn
the blade tilting handwheel until you are certain the blade
is at 90 degrees to the t able. T urn set screw (B) clock -
