RAISE/LOWER
VALVE
ADJUSTMENT
From time to time your
Raise/Lower Assembly may
need some minor
adjustments. If your saw
creeps down when the R/L
Lever is returned to its
“neutral” position after being
raised, the needle valve is not
closing completely. The
following adjustment is an
easy x.
Needle valves are known to take a “set” after continued use, meaning the stops
(open/close) change slightly so the R/L Lever (C) doesn’t completely close the
valve or open the valve when the Lever reaches its stops. Opening the valve to
lower the saw is not the issue, its the valve not closing completely that presents
the problem.
By loosening this 7/16” nut (A) you can rotate the adjusting arm (B) to close the
needle valve. Once that adjustment has been made, tighten the nut. Now, when
the R/L Lever is pulled all the way back as the saw is raised and a spring then
returns the Lever back to its original “neutral” position, the saw will no longer
creep down.
