CHANGING
SAW
BLADES:
To change a saw blade, disconnect machine from the power source. Remove
the
table insert. Place
the arbor wrench on the arbor
nut
(note left-hand threads) and use a block
of
wood
wedged between
the saw blade and table. Remove
the
arbor
nut
and collar and saw blade. Install new blade making
sure the cutting edge
of
the
teeth
at
the
top
face toward the
front
of
the saw. Slide the collar on the
arbor and
start
the
arbor
nut
on
the
threads. Snug the arbor
nut
against the collar and saw blade using
the wrench
and
holding the saw balde with the
thumb
and
finger tips. Wedge a block
of
wood be-
tween the saw blade
and
table and tighten the arbor
nut
securely. Replace
the
table insert and recon-
nect
the machine
to
power source.
TILTING MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT:
If
binding occurs in the tilting mechanism, clean
off
the sawdust and pitch accumulation and regrease.
If
binding continues, check the alignment and readjust
as
required
to
center
the
worm with the worm
gear segment
on
the trunnion.
If
there
is
excessive play, loosen cap screws
and
adjust jackscrews (Fig.IS)
clockwise
to
raise pinion. A tight mesh
without
binding
is
ideal. Retighten mounting screws and check
over the
90
0
to
4S
o
range
of
tilt
for excessive play
or
binding. Readjust
if
required.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE:
Good saw operation requires periodic preventive maintenance. Keep
the
inside
of
the cabinet and trun-
nion area clean. A stiff brush will remove sawdust before
it
cakes and pitch
or
gum
is
easily removed
with a commercial solvent
or
with a good oven cleaner. To accomplish this, remove the table by
re-
moving the three mounting screws
and
exposing the working mechanisms
of
the
saw. After cleaning
the tilting and raising worm
and
worm gear segments
and
the trunnions, grease these three areas with
a good grade non-handening grease such as Fiske Company
"Lubriplate."
Check periodically for excessive end play in the tilting and raising mechanism
and
in the saw arbor and
readjust as required.
Check periodically for
belt
tension and wear. Readjust
or
replace belt
as
required.
The table surface
must
be
kept
clean and free
of
rust for best results. Although some
u~ers
prefer a
wax coating, white talcum powder applied with a Ihlackboard eraser rubbed in vigorously once a week
will fill casting pores and form a moisture barrier. This
method
provides a table
top
that
is
slick and
allows rust rings
to
be easily wiped from the surface.
Important
also
is
the
fact
that
talcum powder will
not
stain wood
or
mar finishes
as
wax pickup does.
