2. Hold the motor bracket stud with a heavy screw driver and turn
the nut clockwise with a wrench until the motor bracket and yoke
fit snugly but not tight against each other.
3. Release bevel tilt lock and try tilting the motor several times. If
further adjustment is necessary repeat the above instructions. Turn
nut counterclockwise to loosen.
TO REMOVE PLAY FROM PEDESTAL: (FIGURE 26)
To remove any play which may develop between the pedestal and
the column follow the steps outlined below.
I. If the column is loose in the pedestal; loosen the locking bolt. turn
the adjusting screw sleeve about 1/12 revolution counterclockwise,
(see Fig. 26), hold it in position with one wrench and lock it in
this position by turning the locking bolt clockwise with another
wrench.
CAUTION: Never turn the adjusting sleeve all the way into the
pedestal in a clockwise direction. This could cause the pedestal to
spring out of shape or crack. You probably will never have to turn
the adjusting sleeve in or out more than '/.s of a revolution to adjust.
2. Try raising and lowering the blade with the elevating crank handle.
If it is too loose repeat above adjustment. If it is too tight, loosen
the locking bolt, turn the adjusting sleeve in a clockwise direction
and retighten the locking bolt. Try raising and lowering the blade
again and make any further adjustment that is necessary.
TO REMOVE SIDE PLAY FROM THE UPPER ARM:
(FIGURE 27)
After your saw has been in use for some time you may notice that
the arm (even though locked in position) can be shifted from side to
side when the blade is at the front end of the rotating arm. Follow
the steps outlined below to correct this condition.
I. On each side of the pedestal at the back you will note 2 headless
set screws with check nuts. (See Fig. 27). You must take up the
wear evenly on both sides of the pedestal by adjusting the brass
gibs from each side. First, hold the screws on the right side with a
screw driver and loosen the check nuts.
2. Now tighten the screws securely and count the number of clock-
wise turns, then back the two screws out exactly '/2 the number of
turns it took to tighten them. Hold each screw in this location with
a
screw driver and tighten the check nut.
3. Next, loosen the upper and lower check nuts on the left side with a
wrench and tighten the set screws. Lock them securely in position
with the check nuts.
4. Try the arm to see if the side motion has been eliminated. Try to
raise the blade with the elevating crank handle. Repeat the adjust-
ment if all side play is not eliminated. If the gib pressure is too
great on the column key and causes a bind "hen raising or lowering
the cutting head, back off the set screws slightly on one side until
the bind is eliminated and lock check nuts.
5. This adjustment might have disturbed the setting of the rotating
arm. Check as described under THE1'\ SQLJARE BLADE CROSS-
CUT TRAVEL and make any necessary adjlolstments.
TO ADJUST THE CARRIAGE BALL BEARINGS:
(FIGURE 28)
The carriage is mounted on the rotating arm track with 4 ball bear-
ings and 2 roller bearings. Two ball bearings are mounted in a fixed
position on each side of the carriage and roll along the 45° track. Two
roller bearings are mounted in a fixed position on the bOllom of the
rotating arm. The two bearings on the left side are permanent, but
the two ball bearings mounted on the right hand SIde of the track are
adjustable. If play develops bet"een the track and the bearings. follow
the steps outlined below to adjust.
I. (See Fig. 28.) Remove the carriage damr knob.
2. Remove the right hand dust cover b\ taking (\ut the two screws.
J. Loosen the set sere'" on the carriage SIde rlate b~ turning It counter-
clockwise <l few turns.
4. Tighten the front hex bolt and the rear he' boll aprroxill1ately the
same number of turns to move the Sltle rlate In e\enly. Keep trying
the travel on the track as ~()U 3J)U>t l<' mdke surc the bearings
aren't binding on the track.
5. After you have the he>. bolts tlghlen"J >t' th,l the carriage moves
