BLADE RAISING MECHANISM
The saw blade is raised and lowered with the front handwheel (A) Fig. 45. With
the exception of hollow 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. 45, 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. 45, clock¬
wise. Due to the wedge action of this locking device, only a small amount of force
is required to lock the blade raising mechanism securely. Any added force merely
puts unnecessary strain on the locking device. Limit stops for raising or lowering
are permanently built into the mechanism and need no further adjustment.
BLADE TILTING MECHANISM
The blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tilted up to 45 degrees to the
right.
To tilt the saw blade to the desired angle, loosen lock knob (D) Fig. 45, and turn
handwheel (C). A pointer indicates the angle of tilt on scale (E), which is marked
in one degree increments. To lock the saw blade in the desired angle of tilt, tight¬
en lock knob (D).
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS LOCK THE BLADE IN POSITION BEFORE APPLYING
POWER TO THE SAW.
