3.10 Up/Down Operation
1. Install a blade, if needed, and check for correct blade tension. (See Section 3.5).
2. Set the cutting head to the desired height. (The blade height scale shows the height of the blade
above the bed rails.)
See Figure 3-13. The up/down switch is located on the far right side of the control panel. Push the
switch up to raise the cutting head; push the switch down to lower the cutting head. Hold the switch
in position until the cutting head reaches the desired height, then release.
The up/down switch is designed to return to the neutral or "off" position when released. If the switch
remains engaged, manually move the switch to the neutral or "off" position. Repair the up/down drum
switch ().
CAUTION! Always make sure the up/down switch moves to the neutral
or “off” position when released to ensure that the saw head stops
moving. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
CAUTION! DO NOT try to force the carriage above the 35" (88 cm)
mark or below the 1" (2.54 cm) mark. Damage to the up/down system
may result.
