your

power

supply

agrees

with

nameplate

marking.

Volts

50/^

Hz

means

Alternating

Current

ONLY.

Voltage

variation

of

more

than

10%

will

check

the

power

supply.

The

use

of

a

circuit

is

recommended.

MOTOR

BRUSHES

It

is

recommended

that

the

BENCH,

APPROPRIATE

TABLE,

OR

LEG

STAND,

WITH

SCREWS

BOLTS

BEFORE

MAKING

ALIGNMENTS

OR

OPERATING.

ADJUSTING

BASE

TO

ARM

Make

certain

the

base

is

absolutely

snug

around

the

arm.

To

do

this

refer

to

fig.

A1

and

adjust

as

follows:

1.

Tighten

the

5/16"

bolt

with

a

wrench

until

base

is

snug

around

the

arm

and

no

appreciable

play

is

noted.

2.

Place

the

3/8"

I.D.

Washer

over

the

threaded

end

of

the

base

clamp

(lubricate

this

washer

and

threads

with

a

small

amount

of

grease).

Install

the

base

clamp

in

the

upper

hole

using

the

3/8"

square

nut

in

the

recess

of

the

base

casting.

3.

Position

base

clamp

so

that

when

it

is

locked

the

handle

position

will

be

upright.

If

it

is

not,

loosen

the

clamp

rod

sufficiently

to

permit

nut

to

come

out

of

recess

in

casting,

then

turn

the

nut

1/4

or

1/2

turn

while

holding

clamp

rod.

Retighten

base

clamp.

4.

Place

insert

into

plastic

knob.

Push

knob

on

clamp

handle.

5.

Release

the

base

clamp

by

pulling

it

toward

you,

and

pull

out

the

miter

locator

pin.

You

should

now

be

able

to

push

the

arm

to

the

right

and

left

and

feel

a

slight

drag.

6.

If

it

is

too

hard

to

move,

loosen

the

5/16"

bolt

a

little.

NOTE:

The

upper

saw

guard

should

be

approx,

parallel

with

the

table

when

the

blade

is

touch¬

ing

the

table.

If

it

is

not,

adjust

the

table

by

turning

the

nuts

on

the

table

adjusting

screws.

You

will

notice

the

mounting

bolts,

which

hold

the

table

to

the

frame,

are

quite

long.

The

large

flange

nuts,

on

the

top

and

bottom

of

the

frame,

suspend

the

table

above

the

frame

about

1".

There

is

an

important

reason

for

this

con¬

struction.

By

turning

these

nuts

up

or

down

we

can

adjust

the

table

parallel

to

the

arm.

If

the

table

is

parallel

to

the

arm,

then

any

groove

you

cut

will

be

the

same

depth

from

front

to

back.

A

simple

method

of

adjusting

the

table

to

be

parallel

with

the

arm

is

as

follows:

1.

With

arm

in

cross

cut

position

tighten

base

clamp

handle.

Turn

the

anti-kickback

rod

on

the

guard

upside-

down.

The

lower

end

of

the

rod

will

be

used

as

an

indicator

to

determine

if

the

entire

table

sur¬

face

is

the

same

distance

from

the

arm.

2.

Set

the

elevation

adjustment

so

the

end

of

the

rod

is

about

1/8"

above

the

table

top.

Tighten

elevating

wing

nut.

(Fig.A-2)

3.

Push

the

saw

all

the

way

back.

If

the

rod

strikes

the

surface,

as

you

push

it

back,

elevate

it

a

little

more

so

it

is

1/8"

above

as

before.

4.

Pull

saw

forward.

Release

base

clamp

handle,

pull

miter

locator

pin

and

move

the

arm

to

your

right

until

30°

is

indicated

on

the

miter

scale.

As

you

move

the

arm,

if

the

end

of

the

rod

strikes

the

table,

elevate

it

a

little

more

as

before.

With

the

arm

30°

to

the

right,

base

clamp

handle

tightened

and

the

saw

all

the

way

back,

turn

the

height

adjustment

until

the

rod

is

just

above

the

sur¬

face

of

the

table

and

lock

elevating

wing

nut.

5.

Hand

tighten

the

nuts

on

the

back

right

table

suspension

stud

while

still

in

45°

right

position.

6.

Pull

the

saw

forward

to

the

end

of

the

track.

If

the

end

of

the

rod

strikes

the

table

do

not

change

the

height

ad¬

justment

of

the

saw.

Instead,

lower

the

front

right

side

of

the

table

by

turning

the

upper

nut

on

the

suspension

stud

up

a

few

turns.

You

should

now

be

able

to

push

the

front

right

corner

of

the

table

down

so

the

rod

indicator

can

pass

over

the

surface

without

striking

it.

7.

Adjust

the

suspension

stud

nuts

so

the

top

of

the

table

on

the

front

right

side

just

touches

the

end

of

the

anti-

kickback

rod

the

same

as

the

back.

Tighten

the

nuts

by

hand.

8.

Release

base

clamp

handle

and

swing

the

arm

to

the

left

until

30°

is

indicated

on

the

miter

scale.

Tighten

base

clamp

handle

and

check

the

height.

If

it

is

incor¬

rect,

adjust

the

same

as

before.

Do

not

change

motor

height.

Push

the

saw

back

and

adjust

the

rear

left

side

of

the

table.

Hand

tighten

adjusting

nuts.

9.

Replace

kickback

to

its

proper

position.

Incidentally,

you

do

not

have

to

start

the

table

adjust¬

ment

with

the

right

rear

bolt.

You

can

start

with

any

one

of

the

bolts,

if

you

find

it

more

convenient.

When

check¬

ing

any

adjustments

arm

must

always

be

locked

in

base.

ADJUSTING

FOR

SQUARE

CROSS

CUT

Install

blade

(See

Page

4

for

installation

instruc¬

tions).

Now

you

are

ready

to

adjust

the

arm

to

be

90®

to

the

fence.

You

will

notice

the

saw

locates

at

90®

when

the

tapered

pin

falls

into

the

slotted

hole

on

the

left

side

of

the

base.

This

is

a

spring

loaded

pin

which

passes

through

(2)

holes

in

the

post

The

holes

are

held

to

a

close

tolerance

at

the

factory

but

they

must

be

large

enough

to

enable

the

pin

to

be

pulled

out

without

binding.

If

you

locate

the

arm

at

90®

or

45®

you

will

be

able

to

move

the

end

of

the

arm

to

the

right

and

left

about

1/2".

This

is

due

to

the

clearance

of

the

holes

in

the

arm.

In

order

to

locate

in

the

same

place

each

time,

the

hole

clearance

is

taken

up

by

pushing

the

arm

to

the

right

until

it

stops.

Lock

the

base

by

pushing

back

on

the

base

clamp.

Make

it

a

habit

of

always

locating

the

arm

at

90*

or

the

(2)

45*

locations

by

appro%hing

the

position

from

the

left,

letting

the

pin

fall

in

place

and

bear

on

the

arm

slight¬

ly

to

the

right

until

it

stops

moving,

and

you

always

have

accurate

cuts.

As

of

now

this

does

not

mean

the

arm

is

90®

to

the

fence.

Checkit

as

follows:

1.

Put

the

fence

in

its

normal

position,

with

the

blade

in

front

of

it

and

about

1/32*

above

the

table.

2.

Place

a

carpenter’s

square

against

the

fence

on

the

left

side

of

the

blade

and

against

the

blade

itself,

not

the

guard.

Raise

the

lower

guard

out

of

the

way.

3.

Hold

the

square

with

your

left

hand

and

pull

the

saw

forward

(Fig.

A3).

If

the

arm

is

90®

the

blade

will

stay

against

the

square

as

you

pull

it

out.

If

the

arm

is

too

far

to

the

right,

the

blade

will

move

away

from

the

square.

If

it

is

too

far

to

the

left,

it

will

push

the

square

to

the

left.

In

either

case

correc¬

tion

is

easy.

4.

Since

the

nuts

which

hold

the

table

to

the

frame

are

not

tight,

you

can

shift

the

entire

table

in

rela¬

tion

to

the

arm

by

tapping

the

table

corners

with

your

hand

or

lightly

with

a

hammer

(Fig.

A4).

5.

When

table

is

located

so

the'fence

is

90®

to

the

arm,

tighten

the

adjusting

nuts

on

the

suspension

studs

carefully

so

as

not

to

change

the

adjustment

you

just

made.

a.

)

Tighten

the

bottom

nuts

only.

This

will

draw

the

table

down

only

slightly

but

the

same

amount

on

each

stud.

b.

)

Prevent

shifting

by

taking

up

on

the

first

nut

a

little

and

then

proceed

to

the

next

taking

it

up

a

little

also.

c.

)

After

all

(4)

nuts

are

snug,

take

up

on

the

first

again

a

little

more

and

repeat

on

all

the

other

nuts

d.

)

The

third

time

around

you

should

be

able

to

take

them

up

tight

without

any

shifting.

MAKING

MITER

ADJUSTMENT

When

the

arm

is

90®

to

the

table,

set

the

miter

scale

by

loosening

its

set

screw

and

turning

the

scale

to

read0®.

Tighten

the

set

screw

carefully

making

it

just

tight

enough

to

prevent

the

scale

from

turning

(Fig.

A5).

Once

the

saw

has

been

set

for

90®,

it

should

be

automatically

set

for

45®;

right

and

left.
