OTHER SETTINGS
The crank used to move the saw head up and down
is spring-loaded and must be pushed against the
machine to release the locking mechanism while
raising or lowering the saw head.
The crank locking mechanism is divided into eight positions on a single rotation. Each position is equivalent
to movement of the saw head by an eighth of an inch, and a full revolution is equivalent to 1 inch. A 16-step
dividing plate is available as an accessory.
There is an opening on the shaft of the crank where a number can be seen. This is numbered in eight steps,
each step being equivalent to one-eighth of an inch. TIP: You must always compensate for the thickness of
the saw blade, i.e. 1/8”, when sawing a board on the top side of the saw blade. There is never any need
to compensate for the piece of wood on the underside of the blade. This has the dimension found on the
absolute height gauge.
How to use the crank gauge to help with setting the saw
Example 1: If you are sawing a 1” board and the crank gauge shows “3”, lower the saw head one turn first
to get back to “3”, then lower it another step (1/8”) to the number “4”.
Example 2: To saw a 2” board when the crank gauge is at “3”, lower the saw head by two turns and stop
at “2”.
Example 3: To saw a 3/4” board when the crank gauge is at “3”, lower the saw head by six-eighths plus
one step for blade compensation, then stop at “2”.
